Spinach Frittata


Description

You can use Parmesan and goat's cheese. Just add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a little extra savoury taste, though that’s not required.

Ingredients

9 large eggs
2 tbsp milk
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce, 30 g)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 large clove garlic, minced
Sun-dried tomatoes, about 2 tbsp chopped (optional)
8 oz (225 g) fresh spinach (or more), chopped (can use baby spinach)
2 oz (56 g) goat's cheese

Directions

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, Parmesan, salt, pepper: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Stir in the salt and pepper. Set aside.

2 Sauté onions, garlic:
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof, stick-free skillet on medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 min. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and cook a minute more.

3. Add the chopped spinach, a handful at a time, use tongs to mix with the onions. As the fresh spinach begins to wilt and there is more room in the pan, add more of the fresh chopped spinach to the pan.

4. Add the egg mixture:
Once the spinach has wilted, spread the mixture out evenly on bottom of the pan. Pour the egg Parmesan mixture over the spinach and onions. Use a spatula to lift up the spinach mixture along the sides of the pan to let egg mixture flow underneath.

5. Sprinkle bits of goat's cheese over the top of the frittata mixture.

6. Lower heat, cover and cook: Lower the heat to low and cover the pan. Let cook on the stovetop 10 to 13 min, until all but the centre of the frittata is set. (You may need to check a few times, to see how well the frittata is setting.) The centre should still be wiggly. Pre-heat the broiler.

7. Finish under the broiler:
Set the oven rack in the top third of the oven. Broil for 3 to 4 min until the top is golden. Remove from oven with oven mitts and let cool for several minutes.

Enjoy!
