What is a Frittata?

A frittata is a creamy Italian egg dish that is similar to an omelette, however it is not folded in half. It is basically a crustless quiche, which makes it perfect for anyone following a gluten free or low carb diet!

What you will need:

• 8 Eggs
• ⅓ cup Whole Milk
• 1 Onion
• 3 Garlic Cloves
• 1 cup Spinach
• 1 cup Tomatoes
• 1 cup Cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ½ teaspoon Black pepper
• ¼ ground Cayenne Pepper (optional)
• a 10-12" Cast Iron or a Nonstick, Oven-safe Skillet

How to Make a Frittata

First, whisk the eggs until well combined. Mix in the milk and spices, and set aside.

Next, heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and saute the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

Add the spinach, tomato, and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and you can smell the garlic!

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the vegetables and let sit until slightly melted. I grated some pecorino Romano cheese, but you could use parmesan or mozzarella too!

Add the egg mixture and tilt the pan as needed to ensure that it is evenly distributed, covering all of the vegetables.

Place into a 350 degree oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until it has set in the middle and the edges are golden brown. Broil for 1-2 minutes until browned on the top (optional). Remove carefully from the oven and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Perfection!
