    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute.

    3

    Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    4

    Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart, until it's browned and cooked through.

    5

    Add 2 cups of spinach to the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

    6

    In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs and 1 cup of cheese until well combined.

    7

    Combine the beef and spinach mixture with the egg and cheese mixture, stirring until everything is evenly distributed.

    8

    Pour the mixture back into the skillet and cook on the stovetop for about 3 minutes until the edges start to set.

    9

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.
