Spinach Frittata

This is a super easy dish to make, and it's a great way to get those veggies we all need.  Each bite is full of a conglomeration of different flavors, so it's definitely enjoyable. 

* 9 large eggs

* 1/2 cup finely diced red onion

* 2 garlic cloves, minced

* 1/2 red bell pepper, diced

* 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms

* 4 cups baby spinach

* 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles

* 1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped

* 1/4 cup basil, roughy chopped

* 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

* 1/2 tsp coarse salt

* 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

* parmesan shavings for garnish



In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, a pinch of salt, pepper, basil and parsley.


Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the onions and saute 3 minutes. Add the garlic and red bell pepper; saute 3 more minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute 3 more minutes. Add the spinach to wilt. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.


Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies, until it has covered the whole skillet. Add the goat cheese and let eggs cook for a good 4 minutes, then move the skillet to the oven and let it sit under the broiler for a few more minutes, until the eggs are cooked and set.


Let cool 3 minutes, garnish with parmesan, slice and serve!
