Spinach and Ricotta Frittata

Spinach and Ricotta Frittata

I made this Spinach and Ricotta Frittata for a late breakfast in early March. Even though it was still very cold outside the flavors and colors made me think about spring. I know that warm weather is right around the corner and it can not come fast enough. Hopefully, between that and the sunshine, it will warm us up a bit despite the 40° weather outside.

This Spinach and Ricotta Frittata is the perfect recipe for an easy breakfast. I make one and save the rest for breakfast the next day, it reheats beautifully. You will need a nonstick oven-safe pan. I have this All Clad set and love them.  I have had them for over a year and with daily use they are holding up great and are easy to clean.

A Few Recipe Notes

  • Make sure your pan is nonstick
  • Don’t skimp on the herbs, they give the frittata great flavor
  • Do not overcook the spinach, it only needs a minute to wilt
  • Loosen the edges with a rubber spatula before sliding it onto a cutting board to slice and serve
  • Give the pan a firm tap on the counter after cooling to loosen the bottom and prevent any sticking.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat you broiler to high. In a bowl mix together the eggs, cream, ricotta, parsley, chives, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until this is thoroughly combined.
  • In an 8 inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium/low heat. Add the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Saute this for 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach begins to wilt. Add the egg mixture and stir, moving all the eggs and spinach around with a rubber spatula until the eggs begin to set. This should take 2-3 minutes.
  • Even out the eggs and top with the mozzarella cheese, place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is brown and the middle is set. Remove from the oven and let it set for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges of the fritatta with the spatula and tap the skillet firmly on counter or cutting board. The fritatta should slide our with minimal effort. If it wants to stick just pay attention to where it is sticking and gently slide the spatula in the area it is stuck to loosen.
  • Cut into 6 wedges and serve

  1. I love a good frittata – especially cheesy ones ! Spinach and ricotta is a match made in heaven and alongside a green salad this would make the perfect light lunch!
