instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that your frittata bakes perfectly.

    2

    Start by peeling and grating the carrots. You want them to be finely grated so that they cook evenly.

    3

    Finely chop the onion and add it to a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let the onion cook for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    4

    Add the grated carrots to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, letting them soften and infuse the oil with flavor.

    5

    Next, add 2 cups of spinach to the mixture and stir until the spinach wilts, which should take about 2 minutes.

    6

    While the vegetables are cooking, crack 6 eggs into a large bowl. Whisk them together thoroughly until you achieve a uniform consistency.

    7

    Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper to the eggs, mixing it well.

    8

    Pour the eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Make sure all the veggies are evenly coated with egg.

    9

    Sprinkle 1 cup of your choice of cheese over the top, which will add a delicious, melty layer.

    10

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.

    11

    Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
