Sunday Brunch Staple

Sunday brunch is a meal perfected if you ask me.  Actually, I'd take a good egg sandwich or some brioche french toast or a mimosa any day of the week.  Unfortunately, I don't always have the pleasure of heading out to an indulgent brunch and eating to my heart's desire, so I have perfected a brunch recipe to make at home that is equal parts healthy and delicious.  It tastes just as good right from the oven or at room temperature and reheats well in the microwave if you have any leftovers (wrap one piece in a paper towel and cook for 25 seconds).

Spinach and Feta Cheese Frittata

(4 regular servings or 6-8 as part of a bigger brunch spread)

Ingredients:

• 3 whole eggs, 4 egg whites
• 1 cup cooked spinach (i like to use frozen chopped spinach,cook it in the microwave, then season it with a little lemon juice and pinch of nutmeg) 
• 1/2 cup good quality feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup good quality parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1-2 tbsp butter or oil
• black pepper & sea or kosher salt to taste

1. Whisk together whole eggs and egg whites
2. Stir in spinach and feta cheese
3. Season egg mixture with some salt and pepper
4. Melt butter or oil in an oven safe skillet
5. When butter foams or oil is hot, add the egg mixture and top with parmesan cheese
6. Cook over medium low heat until the bottom is set and edges are beginning to set
7. Transfer skillet to 350 degree oven or put under the broiler until top is set and starting to brown (check every 5 minutes for the oven or keep a close eye if you use the broiler)
8. Serve warm or room temperature
