Pescatarian Lemon Garlic Egg & Greens Frittata
Bright, garlicky, and packed with greens, this frittata is the kind of dish that feels equally at home on a lazy weekend brunch table or a quick weeknight dinner. Garlic-infused olive oil does a lot of heavy lifting here — it perfumes the entire pan and gives the eggs a savory depth that plain oil simply can't match. Kale and baby spinach get wilted down in that same skillet before the egg mixture goes in, so every bite is loaded with tender greens rather than a sad token handful. The lemon zest and fresh lemon juice whisked right into the eggs keep things tasting lively and fresh, cutting through the richness in the best possible way. Starting the frittata on the stovetop and finishing it in the oven is the move for getting that perfectly set, lightly golden top without any rubbery texture. Scallion greens and flat-leaf parsley folded into the mix add a little color and a gentle oniony note that ties everything together. Serve it straight from the pan with a squeeze of lemon and you've got a genuinely satisfying, vegetable-forward meal that doesn't ask much of you at all.
