Spinach Frittata

This Spinach Frittata has morphed from a no-go recipe of yesteryear into the delicious star of the dinner I had tonite. So tasty! John even snagged a piece after his dinner…

I was on my own for dinner tonite but made the entire 8″ x 8″ and froze the rest in small portions. Such a versatile meal: breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Spinach Frittata Recipe

Ingredients

• extra virgin olive oil spray
• 5 large eggs
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1.2 g (1/4 tsp) kosher salt
• 104 g shredded reduced fat sharp Cheddar cheese
• 81 g shredded extra sharp Cheddar cheese
• 250 g fresh baby spinach
• 120 g thickly sliced Roma tomatoes (about 2 medium after trimming) – you want to end up with 8 slices

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 390° F.
2. Liberally spray an 8″ x 8″ glass baking dish with extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
3. To a large bowl, add 5 large eggs and beat.
4. Whisk in 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1.2 g (1/4 tsp) kosher salt.
5. Stir in 104 g shredded reduced fat sharp Cheddar cheese and 81 g shredded extra sharp Cheddar cheese.
6. Little by little, stir in 250 g fresh baby spinach – until spinach is well-coated in egg mixture. I guarantee this step will seem like it won’t come together well in the end as the spinach will seem like so much (so fluffy!), but trust me…
7. Transfer to prepared baking dish and ensure it is as evenly spread out as possible. Again, the fluffy spinach will need a bit of patting, but don’t stress about trying to make it flat – this is not the typical frittata base you’re probably used to.
8. Bake 20 mins, then remove from oven and top with 120 g (8 slices) thickly sliced Roma tomatoes – see bottom left pic above.
9. Bake for an additional 15 mins, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist but clean.
