Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
• 4 large eggs or an equivalent egg substitute
• 1 cup ricotta cheese (part-skim recommended)
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3/4 cup chopped portobello mushrooms
• 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (include some green tops for color)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta, Parmesan, chopped spinach, mushrooms, scallions, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.

🥄 Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid from the spinach as possible to prevent a watery frittata. You can use a clean dish towel for this!

3. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray (or grease it with a bit of oil) and pour in the spinach mixture, spreading it evenly.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the frittata has set in the center.

5. Allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before cutting it into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

🍽️ This frittata is incredibly versatile; feel free to add other ingredients like bell peppers, tomatoes, or even some cooked bacon for a heartier dish!

Variations

• Vegetarian Delight: Add some diced bell peppers and zucchini for extra veggies without the meat.
• Spicy Kick: Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
• Herbed Version: Replace the Italian seasoning with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or dill for a fragrant twist.
• Low-Carb: Omit the ricotta and up the mushrooms to keep it hearty but reduce carbs.

Enjoy this delightful frittata recipe for a nourishing meal that’s as simple as it is delicious! 🥰🍽️
