spinach frittata

spinach frittata

hehe
playing with my new eggplant casserole
as i have never made a frittata before, i was quite worried when i put it in the oven lol
surprising, it looks good haha :P
and taste good :PPP
it's a portion for 2 persons, according to the menu. however, i could only finish 1/4 of it -_-
umm because i would not take only the frittata but also a piece of bread (a yum yum croissant today)
next time i have to adjust the portion la

Ingredients

• 1 lb spinach leaves (about 2 bunches), cleaned, chopped
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 9 large eggs
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Sun-dried tomatoes, about 2 Tbsp chopped
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 3 oz goat cheese

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F or 200°C.
2. Cook spinach in 1/4 cup of water in a covered saucepan until just wilted, a couple minutes. Drain water and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Add in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Sauté onions in olive oil in an oven-proof, stick-free skillet, until translucent, about 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Add garlic and cook a minute further. Add cooked spinach and mix in with onions and garlic.
5. Spread out spinach mixture evenly on bottom of skillet. Pour egg mixture over spinach mixture. Use a spatula to lift up the spinach mixture along the sides of the pan to let egg mixture flow underneath.
6. Sprinkle bits of goat cheese over the top of the frittata mixture. When the mixture is about half set, put the whole pan in the oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until frittata is puffy and golden. Remove from oven with oven mitts and let cool for several minutes.
   Cut into quarters to serve. Serves four.

The above was the recipe I referred to. Since I do not have an oven-proof skillet, I transferred the egg mixture to the casserole. It is also more convenient when you need to prepare for a smaller portion, like me. ;)

Bon Appetite!
