Instructions
- Place an oven rack in the top 1/3rd of the oven. Preheat the broiler to high.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach and cheese.
- Heat an oven-safe, 12-inch skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Once pan is hot, pour egg mixture in and stir gently with a spatula to spread out spinach and cheese. Leave it alone to cook for about 3 minutes, until the bottom is set.
- Transfer pan to the top oven rack. Broil for 1-3 minutes or just until set on top. Keep a close eye on it and remove before it overcooks.
- Let cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve.
Notes/Tips
- I have best results in a 12 inch cast iron skillet.
- Cook time may vary depending on the type of pan you use, so mainly go by how the frittata looks not the exact cook times in the recipe.
- I have not tested this specific recipe with frozen spinach. However, based on other recipes I make with frozen spinach, this could work. You will have to thaw it and squeeze out as much liquid as possible before using.
- How to Add in More Veggies: Saute diced onions, peppers, mushrooms, kale, and/or garlic in oil and then pour in the egg mixture. It may take a little longer to cook with this addition.
- How to Add Meat: Cook chopped bacon or crumbled breakfast sausage in the pan. Then pour the egg mixture over it, stir, and follow recipe instructions. It may take a little longer to cook with this addition. You could also add in some chopped deli ham to the egg mixture.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can saute the spinach first before adding the eggs, if you’d it to be softer. I just like the short cut of finely chopping it and adding it in at the same time.
