Spinach Frittata

I love making frittatas for dinner, it sounds so much fancier than telling your family “we’re having breakfast for dinner.”

They’re also super versatile, you can add as many vegetables as you like or keep it simple with some cheese.

Basic Frittata recipe is pretty simple, mix 6-8 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk. Sautee whatever vegetables you like and add to the bottom of a pan, pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 30+/- minutes at 350.
I made two, one broccoli cheddar and the other spinach for dinner and just doubled the recipe.

Below is my recipe for the frittata I made in the picture.

Spinach and Cheddar Frittata

8 large (10 medium) eggs

10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1/2 cup chopped mixed peppers
Dried Italian seasonings to taste
