“Fennel – Olive – Feta – Frittata” – Say that 5 times fast! ( :

I haven’t made a frittata in a while, but I was making a fennel and apple salad the other day and the fennel reminded me of a yummy frittata I had made a few years back.

Do you like fennel?  I didn’t think I would like it at first, but it is delicious!  When raw it’s crunchy, sweet and has a mild licorice taste.  When cooked it loses some of the licorice taste.  Fennel’s growing season is fall through early spring – so it’s a great time to eat some fennel while still in season!!

This frittata cooks up quickly and makes for an easy weeknight supper or…would be perfect for a brunch…Mother’s Day perhaps (hint, hint, wink, wink to my family!)  I love to serve the frittata with a simple arugula salad.  The peppery, bitterness of the arugula pairs really well with the rich taste of the frittata and the sweetness from the onions and fennel.  YUM!

Fennel, Olive and Feta Frittata, Step-by-Step Photos:

Cut the stalks and the fronds from the bulb. Reserve the fronds (feathery leafy part) for the dressing.

Quarter the bulb and cut out the core.

Thinly slice the bulb

Gather the olives, parsley and feta cheese

Whisk the egg mixture

Sauce the onions and fennel

If your pan tends to stick, give the pan a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray before pouring in the eggs

Add the olives, parsley and feta to the egg mixture then pour into the pan.

Cook on the stovetop until the edges begin to set

Top with Parmesan cheese and finish by baking in oven

YUM!

Make a quick dressing for the arugula salad

Toss the dressing with the arugula and serve with the frittata! ENJOY!

Ingredients

Frittata

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 2 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb (reserve the fronds)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1/2 cup pitted and quartered Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Non-stick cooking spray

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced fennel fronds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cups baby arugula

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  
  • Heat a 10-inch cast iron (or oven safe) skillet over medium heat.
  • Add oil, onion and fennel bulb, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt, cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes or until softened and beginning to caramelize.
