Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup good quality parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion – sliced thinly
  • 2 cups spinach leaves
  • 2 firm & ripe tomatoes – cut one into cubes and the other into 1/2-inch slices.
  • 1/4 tsp of Season with Spice's Smoked Spanish paprika
  • Chopped fresh herbs: chives parsley, rosemary and/or oregano

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the eggs, salt and black pepper vigorously in a mixing bowl, in order to beat a lot of air into the eggs to create a fluffier texture for the frittata. Then gently mix in the cubed tomato and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch, oven-proof skillet with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit more olive oil to the pan and toss in the sliced yellow onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onion softens. Then add in spinach, and sauté for a quick minute, just until the spinach leaves start to wilt.
  • Turn heat down to medium-low, and add the egg mixture into skillet. As the frittata cooks, use a rubber spatula to gently lift the cooked edges to allow uncooked eggs to run down to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the eggs begin to set around the edges – after about five minutes - arrange the tomato slices on top (you can also add another layer of cheese, if desired).
  • Lower the heat to low, cover the skillet, and continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes.  As it cooks, occasionally shake the skillet gently to ensure it cooks evenly, and also remove the cover a few times and use a spatula to lift the frittata to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the eggs are just about set (the top will be slightly runny) turn the fire off, uncover, and sprinkle on smoked Spanish paprika and chopped fresh herbs.
  • Turn the oven to broil and place the whole skillet into the oven. Broil for a few minutes (about 3-4 minutes), watch closely until the frittata is lightly browned and fluffy.
  • Remove from oven and loosen the frittata by gently shaking the pan. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

- For a gourmet version, try it with Fortina cheese (Italian cow’s milk cheese), goat cheese, Romano cheese, ricotta, or feta cheese.
