Spinach Frittata

This is a very easy dish to make, delicious and nutritious.  It is supposed to be served for Sunday brunch but I cooked it for supper, with Chicken and Noodles soup like Chicken and Dumpling, and crusty French rolls.

Mix together in a bowl:

  • 10-oz package of Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup Mozzarella or Ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 small can of mushroom pieces and stems, drained (or ¾ c chopped fresh portabella mushrooms) optional
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ c chopped green onions or regular onions
  • 1 TBS chopped red bell pepper (optional)
  • ¼ tsp. dried Italian Seasoning or garlic powder or “Garlic & Herb Salt Free” by McCormick
  • 4 to 6 eggs
  • A pinch of salt and pepper

Transfer to a pie plate or an 8 x 8 baking pan and bake at 375° F oven for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Or transfer to a non-stick skillet and cook covered on low heat until eggs are done.

Chopped Tomatoes with fresh cut up Basil can also be used as a variant.  Any vegetables on hand can be used as substitute.
