Spinach, Onion, and Swiss Frittata

by Amanda Haas

Notes

I used to make breakfast burritos or poached eggs almost every morning — until I went to New York several times last year for work. Every time I go, I stay at the W Hotel at Union Square, where my friend Todd's restaurant, Olives, is in the lobby. I'm such a creature of habit — I quickly got hooked on the asparagus and ham frittata. I skip the ham and substitute spinach for the asparagus when I'm at home, but you can get creative with your combos. This frittata easily feeds all four of us.

Treat Mom to Breakfast in Bed With This Simple Frittata

Ingredients

  1. 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    2 cups vertically sliced onion
    4 cups baby spinach leaves
    8 large eggs, lightly beaten
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 10 minutes or until tender. Add spinach; cook 2 minutes, stirring just until spinach wilts.
  3. Combine eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in pan; cook until edges begin to set, about 2 minutes. Gently lift edge of egg mixture, tilting pan to allow uncooked egg mixture to come in contact with pan. Cook 2 minutes or until egg mixture is almost set. Sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes or until center is set. Transfer frittata to a serving platter immediately; cut into 4 wedges.
