Spinach & Sun Dried Tomato Frittatas

Do you have Easter brunch or Easter dinner? My family always has a formal Easter ham dinner, but around here brunch seems to be more popular.

Not that it matters for us this year – Jack and I will doing what we’ve done for every holiday this year so far – testing and shooting cookbook recipes. Yep, that’s right – this book project started with Thanksgiving tacos and now Easter weekend will be a smorgasbord of random bits and bobs, tons of dirty dishes, and some really funky combinations of leftovers. There definitely won’t be ham, but there might be a few eggs.

If your family is a brunch-y one, here’s a simple frittata idea. If you don’t have mini skillets, you can make these in a muffin tin or you could make this in one big skillet and scale up the recipe to serve a crowd. Add in whatever vegetables you like – although I really love spinach in frittatas, especially now while it’s in season. Sometimes I add cheese, but this time I used sun dried tomatoes for that salty bite.

I hope you all have a happy holiday weekend!

Recipe type: Breakfast

Serves: about 6 mini frittatas (serves about 3)

Ingredients

• drizzle of olive oil
• ¼ cup chopped scallions
• 1 small clove garlic
• 2 cups chopped spinach
• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup almond milk
• ⅓ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
• ¼ cup chopped herbs: (ie. basil, parsley, tarragon...)
• pinch of red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. If you're using cast iron skillets, preheat those in the oven as well. (Otherwise grease little ramekins or 6 cups of a muffin tin and set aside).
2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add scallions, garlic, spinach, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until spinach is just wilted, set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Add the cooked spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Pour mixture into prepared skillets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the eggs are just set. (Adjust baking time for a larger frittata).
4. Remove from the oven, sprinkle on fresh herbs and freshly cracked black pepper. Let cool slightly and serve.

Notes

This recipe can also be made in an 8 or 10 inch skillet. Add 2 (or more) additional eggs to fill a 12 inch skillet. Double recipe to fill 12 muffin cups.
