Spinach Tomato Frittata Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by gently sautéing shallots in butter until translucent, releasing a mild onion flavor as a base. The grape tomatoes and thinly sliced baby spinach are then added to the pan and cooked briefly until the spinach wilts. Meanwhile, eggs are whisked with cream and Parmesan, which adds richness and a slight tang.
The egg mixture is poured over the softened vegetables and cooked undisturbed to begin setting the edges. Topping with additional Parmesan before placing in the oven’s broiler allows the surface to brown slightly for color and texture contrast without overcooking the frittata. This technique yields a dish with a tender, moist interior and a savory, golden top.
This frittata provides a simple egg-based meal that can be served for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. It pairs well with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
