How to Make Artichoke Spinach Frittata

  2. Drain one (14 ounce) can of artichoke hearts, reserving 1 tablespoon of the oil.
  3. Saute 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, in the reserved artichoke oil for several minutes until softened. Add 10 ounces fresh spinach and saute until wilted.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup crushed crackers (saltines or similar), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or a blend).
  5. Stir in the sauteed onion and spinach mixture and the drained artichoke hearts.
  6. Lightly grease a 1 1/2 - 2 quart oven-safe skillet or baking dish with cooking spray.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
