Fresh Spinach & Red Pepper Frittata
Ingredients
- 2 oz (60 g) part-skim mozzarella cheese (½ cup/125 mL grated)
- 2 oz (60 g) Parmesan cheese (½ cup/125 mL grated), divided
- 1 lb (450 g) russet potatoes, unpeeled (2 medium)
- 1 small onion
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt, divided
- 8 eggs
- ⅓ cup (75 mL) milk
- ¼ cup (60 mL) loosely packed fresh basil leaves
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) black pepper
- 2 oz (60 g) fresh baby spinach leaves (2 cups/500 mL)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan; set aside.
Slice the potatoes and onion into ⅛” (3-mm) thick slices. Stack the onion slices and cut them into quarters.
Heat the oil in the 5-qt. (4.7-L) Brilliance Nonstick Saute Pan (do not use stainless steel cookware) over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Place the potatoes and onions into the pan (they will overlap slightly). Sprinkle with ½ tsp (2 mL) of the salt and the remaining Parmesan.
Cook, undisturbed, for 4–5 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn potatoes and onions over; cook an additional 3–4 minutes, or until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Add the basil, remaining salt, and black pepper to the bowl; mix well.
Top the potato mixture with the spinach and bell pepper. Cook, covered, for 1 minute, or until the spinach wilts slightly. Remove the pan from the heat and pour egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
Bake, uncovered, 9-11 minutes or until eggs are set.
Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle with the cheese mixture.

Cook's Tips:
The potatoes and onions cook first to become the bottom crust of this frittata. It’s important to cook them without stirring so they brown evenly!
