Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup red bell pepper chopped
- ¼ cup mushrooms sliced
- ¼ cup onion chopped
- ½ cup spinach chopped
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup goat cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat an electric skillet to 375ºF. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the peppers, mushrooms and onions until tender (around 4 minutes). Add the spinach and sauté for 1 more minute. Turn off the electric skillet.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sautéed vegetables, salt and pepper.
- Grease a small cast iron pan and pour the egg mixture in. Add the goat cheese in chunks, scattered throughout the pan.
- Clean the electric skillet and bring it to 375ºF again. Place a small baking rack inside electric skillet (to use it like an oven).
- Place the cast iron pan on top of the baking rack, cover the skillet with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Cool for a few minutes and serve.
Notes
- Just like a pizza, a frittata is best-served when well-rested. So allow it to cool a little before slicing.
- Have it for breakfast with a slice of sour-dough toast and a pot of coffee. Or for brunch, serve this on top of an arugula salad and pair it with your favorite turkey sausage.
- For a complete meal you can take to work, slice the finished frittata and separate the pieces into meal-prep containers. This way, you can have delicious and portable meals for 1-2 days after preparation. Just chuck them in the microwave!
- This dish can be partially prepared beforehand. You can chop and sauté the vegetables ahead of time. These can be stored in an air-tight container for 1-2 days in the fridge. Once you're ready for a fresh frittata, all you need to do is add in the eggs and goat cheese and bake them together.
- Leftover frittata can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. You can also freezer it for up to 2 months. It can be reheated in the microwave.
