Start on the stovetop, finish in the oven—this frittata is simple and delicious. A light mix of egg whites and egg, tender spinach and chunky potatoes makes this dish a hearty vegetarian meal for breakfast, brunch or dinner. Be sure your nonstick skillet is oven-safe. A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is perfect.

Spinach & Potato Frittata

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons salted butter
  • 6 baby red potatoes (170 grams each), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (80 grams) finely chopped red onion
  • 5 ounces  (140 grams) baby spinach leaves, torn
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 large eggs (50 grams each)
  • 6 large egg whites (30 grams each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) crumbled goat cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Melt butter over medium heat. Add potatoes and onion; cook, covered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Add spinach and thyme; cook, covered, 2–3 minutes or until spinach wilts (use tongs to occasionally stir spinach).

Whisk together eggs, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour egg mixture over spinach and potato mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula to combine. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until edges begin to set. Place in oven.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until frittata is completely cooked. Remove from oven; sprinkle with goat cheese and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut into 6 wedges (remember handle will be hot to the touch). Serve immediately.
