SPINACH FRITTATA

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon salsa verde
3 handfuls raw spinach
A small handful (1/2 cup) of parmesan
Salt and Pepper
1/2 milk or cream (I’m using unsweetened almond milk)
½ cup goat cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
In a bowl, whisk your eggs, mayo, salsa, and mayo.
Toss in some salt and pepper and mix in.
Stir in your spinach until it’s coated with your egg mixture.
Pour into a greased cast iron or baking dish.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set. Don’t overcook!
I’m a condiment addict, so of course I’m serving mine with a little salsa verde on the side!
