How to Make Organic Smoked Mozzarella & Spinach Frittata

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 1 hour

Servings: 6–8

A pan of freshly cooked Organic Smoked Mozzarella & Spinach Frittata

Ingredients

    • 8–9 large eggs
    • 2 cups grated organic smoked mozzarella
    • 2 cups organic spinach leaves
    • 1 large avocado, sliced (for topping)
    • 2 slices gluten-free bread
    • 3–4 cloves garlic
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
    • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
    • Butter or olive oil, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 5 x 9 baking dish with butter or olive oil. Quarter the gluten-free bread slices and lay them on the bottom of the dish, evenly spaced so they don’t touch.

Step 2: Layer the Frittata

Sprinkle in about 1½ cups of the smoked mozzarella evenly over the bread. Layer the spinach leaves on top, finishing with a few more leaves for a fresh green finish. Set the baking dish aside while you prep the eggs.

Step 3: Whisk the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt and minced garlic (use the garlic press for easy mincing). Whisk vigorously until a froth appears—this creates a fluffy, well-aerated texture.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

Pour the egg mixture over the layered bread and spinach. Top with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella and sprinkle Parmesan cheese across the top. Bake for 1 hour, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Use the Zulay splatter screen as a heat-safe trivet when removing the dish from the oven. Top with avocado slices and chopped parsley before serving.

Tips, Variations, and Substitutions

  • Add protein: Crumbled sausage, turkey bacon, or cubed tofu make great mix-ins.
  • More veggies: Add chopped tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted peppers.
  • Cheese swap: Try feta, sharp cheddar, or gouda in place of smoked mozzarella.
  • Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne for heat.
  • Meal prep tip: Slice and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days—great for grab-and-go meals.

Health Benefits of This Frittata

This dish isn’t just delicious—it’s a healthy meal option. Eggs provide complete protein and essential nutrients like vitamins B12, D, and choline, which support brain and muscle function. Spinach adds fiber, iron, and antioxidants for digestive and immune health. Smoked mozzarella contributes a rich source of calcium along with a savory, smoky flavor, while garlic offers natural anti-inflammatory compounds that boost immunity. Topping it all off, avocado brings heart-healthy fats and potassium to the plate.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Recipe

Can I make this frittata ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake it the night before, let it cool, and refrigerate it in the dish. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual slices. It’s perfect for brunch prep or quick weekday lunches.

What kind of bread works best?

We recommend gluten-free sandwich bread for structure without overpowering the dish. However, any bread works: sourdough, ciabatta, or multigrain all add great texture. Day-old bread is especially good—it soaks up the egg mixture without getting soggy.

How do I know the frittata is fully cooked?

The center should be firm, not jiggly. Insert a knife or toothpick in the middle—if it comes out clean, it’s ready. A digital thermometer can also help; the internal temp should reach 160°F for doneness.

Is this frittata recipe keto-friendly?

With a few tweaks—such as removing the bread or using a keto bread alternative—yes. The eggs, cheese, and spinach are all keto-approved. You can also swap dairy for high-fat options like full-fat cream or ghee.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes! Let the frittata cool completely, cut it into slices, and wrap each piece in foil or store in airtight containers. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to eat.

What does smoked mozzarella taste like?

Smoked mozzarella has a mild, creamy flavor with a subtle smoky finish. It adds depth without overwhelming the dish. If you can’t find it, try smoked gouda or provolone for a similar result.

Can I use milk in the egg mixture?

Absolutely. Adding ¼ cup of milk or cream can make the frittata fluffier and richer. Just reduce the number of eggs slightly or extend bake time by 5–10 minutes to adjust for the extra liquid.
