Summer Squash & Spinach Frittata

Things have been crazy, and tomorrow marks my last day shift...I start nights on Monday. Party. I can hardly believe that I'm already over halfway through orientation! Time flies. Plus, I'm super excited about Halloween being next week! Yes, I'm working, but I get to dress up. And I'll be fulfilling a childhood dream. Any guesses? Hint--my costume involves the color pink. (Shocking, I know.) I need to finish it up this weekend.

I whipped together a frittata earlier this week for dinner. Mostly because we had eggs, summer/yellow squash and baby spinach that needed used, and I figured a frittata was the best way to go. Frittatas are really great. There's so much possibility. You can basically throw in whatever veggie you want. You can use more or less eggs depending on how thick or big you want it. Toss in some herbs. Maybe some cheese. It's simple. It's tasty. It's fabulous. 



Summer Squash & Spinach Frittata

1 small onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium summer squash, thinly sliced
1 bag/box of fresh baby spinach
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
7 large eggs
Basil to taste
Salt & pepper to taste
EVOO

  • Preheat oven to 400*F. 
  • Heat up some EVOO in a large, oven-safe skillet. Add the onion & garlic and cook for a couple minutes. Add in the squash and cook until it's pretty soft. Add in the spinach. If your skillet has a lid, throw it on top to help steam the spinach. 
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add cheese, basil, salt & pepper. Mix together & pour over the veggies in the skillet. 
  • Let it all sit on the stove for like 1-2 minutes before transferring to the oven. Once it's in the oven, bake until set (it took mine like 5 minutes).
Enjoy!
