Spinach-meat-cheese Frittata
This 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
- 1/2 cup of half n half
- 1 cup of shredded cheese, cheddar, fontina, I used Comte.
- 1/2 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:
- 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.
- In a bowl beat the eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper add the half n half and mix in 3/4 cup of cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the skillet and continue to cook on the stove on a medium heat pulling the edges to the center with a fork allowing the egg mixture to set and partially cook. Do this for 2-3 minutes then place the skillet into pre heated 400 degree oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes then check to see if it is done. You can place a toothpick in the center to check as well.
- Once done remove from the oven, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover tightly with a lid and let it sit off the heat for 5 minutes. You could also place it under your broiler to melt the cheese. I serve mine from the skillet but it can be removed to a plate.
