What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Oven Spinach Frittata! Frittata is a fancy word for an Italian omelet baked in the oven without a crust. It also cooks in half the time, making it less labor-intensive. Somehow that doesn’t sound near as exciting as a French quiche. Yet, it is because the filling ends up being light, fluffy, and savory. The feta cheese is a crowning point with its rich tangy flavor. And the next time you need something versatile for leftover lunch the next day, think frittata. Even at room temperature, it tastes amazing.
OVEN SPINACH FRITTATA
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green onion, chopped
1 strip bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup cherrywood deli ham, sliced
1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Italian dried herbs, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes until combined. In an iron skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add the green onions; sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked bacon, cherrywood ham, and baby spinach. Cook one minute, stirring gently. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Place cubed feta cheese on top. Transfer the iron skillet to the preheated oven. Bake 25 minutes or until the eggs are puffy and slightly browned. Remove pan from oven. Garnish with a pinch of dried Italian herbs. Serve immediately.
I can see this in my future.

Oh, yum, I love those. I would simply be skipping the ham and bacon but add some mushrooms and bell peppers.
