This breakfast frittata couldn’t be easier! It’s great to make ahead and meal prep for the week or to serve for breakfast, any day of the week. It comes together quickly and starts on the stove and finishes in the oven. For color I love to top it with some fresh tomatoes, and more scallions and feta cheese.

What You’ll Need
Here’s the ingredients I use to make this spinach frittata. See exact measurements in the recipe card below:
- Eggs: To lighten the frittata I use a combination of eggs and egg whites. For convenience I usually buy organic cage free liquid egg whites but you can separate them yourself, if you prefer.
- Onions: I use a combo of red onion and scallions, plus more for topping
- Spinach: Fresh chopped baby spinach is used here
- Cheese: Crumbled feta and Parmesan cheese add delicious flavor
- Salt and Black Pepper for seasoning
- Diced grape or cherry tomatoes are optional for topping, they add color and more vegetables
Variations
- If you want to use whole eggs only, use 8 eggs total.
- Frozen spinach can be used in place of fresh.
