Spanakopita Frittata
Silky eggs, salty crumbled feta, garlicky spinach and a scatter of everything bagel seasoning this Spanakopita Frittata leaves the phyllo behind and lets your rice cooker do the work.
Equipment
- 11-cup capacity rice cooker with a Cook function
- Cooking spray or a pastry brush for oiling the insert bowl
- Large mixing bowl (for the egg mixture)
- Whisk
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Skewer or thin knife
- Two serving plates
Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil or cooking spray for greasing
- 12 eggs
- 300 ml thickened cream
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 120 g baby spinach leaves divided
- 2 spring onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 200 g Danish feta crumbled, divided
- 1 long green chili thinly sliced, to serve (optional)
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the rice cooker Spray or brush the insert bowl of an 11-cup capacity rice cooker generously with olive oil, then place it back into the rice cooker.
- Whisk the base In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, thickened cream and crushed garlic until smooth and well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared insert bowl.
- Add the filling Set aside about half a cup of the baby spinach to use as a fresh topping later. Add the spring onion, shredded cheese and the remaining spinach to the insert bowl and stir gently to combine. Scatter over half of the crumbled feta.
- Cook Cover with the lid and set the rice cooker to its Cook function. Cook for 20–25 minutes. Insert a skewer or thin knife into the center if it comes out wet, set to Cook again and check every few minutes until it comes out clean, which should take a further 3–5 minutes.
- Stand Once cooked through, leave the frittata to stand with the lid closed on the Keep Warm function for 5 minutes. This last rest makes it far easier to turn out cleanly.
- Turn out and finish Carefully invert the frittata onto a plate, then invert it again onto a second plate so it sits right-side up. Top with the reserved spinach, the remaining feta and the sliced green chili, then finish with a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. Slice and serve warm.
