Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs Preferably organic or free-range.
  • 1 cup chopped spinach Fresh or frozen spinach can be used.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes Canned or fresh tomatoes work well.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese For a richer flavor, use aged Parmesan.
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion Yellow or white onion can be used.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is recommended.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Toss in the chopped spinach and diced tomatoes, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and golden on top.
  9. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze wrapped slices for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven or microwave.
