Spinach Meat Cheese Frittata

Spinach-meat-cheese FrittataThis is really simple to make and you can adjust the ingredients to use what you like. It will be enough for 6 people!

You will need:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups of half n half
  • 2 cups of shredded cheese, cheddar, fontina, I used Comte.
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 ounces chopped capicolo, prosciutto or ham
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion and the meat for a couple minutes then add the spinach and sauté until the spinach starts to wilt, cover with a lid and remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper and the half n half.
  3. I used a 9″ pie dish to make mine. Put some olive oil in the pie dish and rub all around to coat then place the spinach/onion/meat in the bottom of the dish and then layer the cheese on top.
  4. Pour the egg mixture in and place in a pre heated 375 degree oven.
  5. Cook 45-50 minutes then check to see if it is puffed up all across the top. It will look like the photo when it’s done.
