Instructions

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the top of the frittata mixture.
- Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
- Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
