Spinach Frittata

Ingredients

• 1 lb spinach leaves (about 2 bunches), cleaned, chopped
  
  
  
  
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
  
  
  
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  
  
  
  
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
  
  
  
  
• 9 large eggs
  
  
  
  
• 2 Tbsp milk
  
  
  
  
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
  
  
  
• Sun-dried tomatoes, about 2 Tbsp chopped
  
  
  
  
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  
  
  
  
• 3 oz goat cheese

Method

1 Preheat oven to 400°F.

2 Cook spinach in 1/4 cup of water in a covered saucepan until just wilted, a couple minutes. Drain water and set aside.

3 In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Add in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.

4 Sauté onions in olive oil in an oven-proof, stick-free skillet, until translucent, about 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Add garlic and cook a minute further. Add cooked spinach and mix in with onions and garlic.

5 Spread out spinach mixture evenly on bottom of skillet. Pour egg mixture over spinach mixture. Use a spatula to lift up the spinach mixture along the sides of the pan to let egg mixture flow underneath.

6 Sprinkle bits of goat cheese over the top of the frittata mixture. When the mixture is about half set, put the whole pan in the oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until frittata is puffy and golden. Remove from oven with oven mitts and let cool for several minutes. Although the pan may be out of the oven for a few minutes, the handle is still very hot. To keep from accidentally picking it up by the handle while hot (speaking from experience, ouch!) take a piece of ice and melt it against the pan's handle to cool it down.

Cut into quarters to serve. Serves four
