Spinach Onion Frittata

in BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH RECIPES, VEGETARIAN RECIPES

Together with my baked French toast and whole-wheat blueberry muffins, this spinach onion frittata is one of my go-to recipes for weekend brunches with friends. It is delicious, substantial, pretty, and relatively easy to make – although admittedly not as easy as my weeknight spinach frittata.

Makes 8 slices New quantity:

Total time: 1 hour
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Cool: 15 minutes

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (5oz) bag baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
8 large eggs
1/2 cup plain low fat Voskos Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Olive oil nonstick spray

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 9-inch baking dish in the oven.

2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and the 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (the salt helps draw the liquids out of the onion). Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the garlic and the spinach and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the oregano and thyme and cook, stirring, 30 more seconds, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside. By now the spinach should have wilted but have kept its bright green color.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cheese and the onion/spinach mixture.

4. Carefully, using oven mitts, remove baking dish from the hot oven. Spray with nonstick spray. Transfer egg mixture to baking dish. Bake 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and puffy and a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool 5 minutes in pan on a wire rack, then invert onto a platter and from the platter to a cooling rack. Cool 10 more minutes before serving – frittatas taste best when not piping hot.
