Breakfast

Spinach Frittata

No matter how busy you are, you should never skip breakfast since it is the most important meal of the day. You should not settle for anything less either. Instead, make sure that you eat a nutritious meal as you start your day.

Be it a weekend brunch or an early weekday breakfast, this Spinach Frittata is an excellent option. It is quick and easy, not to mention the health benefits that come with spinach as well as eggs. It’s the perfect egg dish, indeed!

When making a frittata, remember to cook it on low. Eggs love gentle heat. They retain their moisture that way.

Now, this Spinach Frittata recipe requires chopped-up baby spinach, Parmesan cheese, and goat cheese. You can also add some sun-dried tomatoes to add more flavors to it, and, of course, to increase its nutritional value. But if you are not so much into sun-dried tomatoes, no worries, you can omit them.

What about if you don’t have goat cheese? Well, you can simply replace it with gruyere, jar, cheddar, or even Mozzarella. Using any of these will give you a delicious Spinach Frittata.
