Foodie Friday ~ Fresh Herb with Spinach and Cheese Frittata

Driving home from work thinking what will I make for dinner........ As long as you have eggs and cheese you can always make a Frittata. So I just started taking food from the refrigerator and this is what I came up with. I especially love adding herbs from my garden to just about everything. The family loved it:)

Fresh Herb with Spinach and Cheese Frittata
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach, thaw under water and squeezed dry
  • 8 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon each, fresh from the garden; sage, tarragon, thyme, oregano and basil - chopped
  • 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup grated mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 small container Philadelphia chive and onion whipped cream cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spinach and onions and cook for 3 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy. Pour eggs into the skillet and cook until the bottom has set, about 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes. Sprinkle herbs on top. Dot the cream cheese randomly and sprinkle with cheeses. Salt and pepper

Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then slice.

This looks and sounds wonderful! My favorite way to cook is looking around at what I have and start pulling out the pots and pans.

Welcome to Foodie Fridays, this was my first week also. Lovely blog!

I have never tried making a frittata but yours looks so good that I might have to give it a try.

Your frittata sounds delicious with all of those fresh herbs! I would have never thought of adding the Philly Chive and Onion either - what a great idea.
