BAKED FRITTATA WITH SPINACH AND FETA

This tasty and convenient baked frittata packed with protein is one of my favorite staples. It’s a no brainer, super easy to make and it takes only 3 basic ingredients always in my fridge: eggs, frozen spinach, and cheese!

Frozen spinach is terrific to keep on hand, especially if washing and chopping veggies doesn’t fit in your busy schedule. But almost any kind of vegetables left in the fridge is suitable for a frittata, it’s so easy to whip up with whatever leftover veggies, greens, and cheese you might happen to have on hand.

If you don’t have feta cheese, go for parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar or whatever you like.  Frittata is simple, good and satisfying, and makes a perfect brunch or a quick meal for the whole family.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS RECIPE:

• Eggs
• Frozen spinach
• Feta or other cheese
• salt and pepper

For a fuss-free frittata, I never cook my thawed spinach first, it goes directly into the oven with the rest of the ingredients. The easier the better:

• Preheat the oven to 350F
• Squeeze thawed spinach
• Scatter over a baking dish
• Add some crumbled feta
• Pour in egg mixture
• Bake

	Bake for 30 MINUTES.
	Bake, don’t fry.  Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, a low-calorie superfood loaded with vitamins, amino acids and minerals. Eggs build your muscles, help your brain and promote healthy eyes, hair and nails. Spinach is low on calories and packed with protein, iron, vitamins, minerals and fiber. It’s great for skin, hair, and bone health, eyesight, muscles and cancer prevention. Feta cheese is a good source of calcium, phosphorus and protein, but it’s high in sodium. However, you need a small amount for a salty and cheesy punch.
	Cost of the recipe: Approx. $5 (4 servings)

A baked frittata can be your breakfast, your meal prep or a perfect school lunch box for your kids. My 4 year old loves it, I usually cut it into little squares and it makes a balanced lunch alongside fresh vegetables, bread and fruit.

Frozen vegetables are inexpensive, packed with nutrients and ready in no time. If you rely on convenient bags from the freezer aisle all year round ( like me : ) have a look at this vibrant pea soup and fava bean salad.
