Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 5 small red potatoes (washed and thinly sliced)
  • 1 bunch green onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1-2 cups baby spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
  • 1-2 cups shredded Asiago, sharp cheddar, or Gruyere cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick, oven-safe pan (or cast iron skillet) over medium heat. Add the potatoes and saute for 7-10 minutes until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, basil, cheese, and salt together in a bowl until well combined. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining olive oil and cook the green onion, tomatoes, and frozen peas for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add the spinach and garlic and cook for another 30 seconds or so.
  5. Pour in the egg mixture and reduce the heat. Scramble the eggs for 1 minute then add in the potatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the egg starts to set. Smooth into an even layer and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the eggs have set.
  6. Slice and serve topped with more basil and cheese if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

- Don't overcook the spinach and garlic; they only need a quick sauté to wilt and become fragrant.
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of cheeses like sharp cheddar and Gruyère. I find the blend adds a wonderful depth that a single cheese can't quite achieve.
- Ensure the eggs are set in the oven; gently shaking the pan should show no liquid jiggle in the center. For safe egg consumption, the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Leftover frittata can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a warm oven.
