Fritatta with Spinach & Cheese
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive
oil Heat oven to 350 degrees. Squeeze the spinach dry and finely chop. In a 9-inch skillet that can be put into the oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, spinach, salt & pepper. Add the cheeses and mix well to combine. Pour this mixture into the skillet and cook until the bottom is set, about 5 minutes. Place skillet into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the eggs are set. Serves 4 as a main course. |
Note: adapted this from Mario Batali's "Molto Mario"
show on Food TV. The Fontina cheese, a semi-soft cheese, is excellent with the
spinach. And, if at all possible, use fresh spinach. It made a very positive
difference in the dish.
