Embrace the flavors of the Mediterranean tonight with this wholesome and delicious Spanakopita Frittata that is both satisfying and nutritious.

1

Begin by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Once done, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.

2

While the quinoa is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

3

Add 2 cups of fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes until wilted. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

4

In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs and crumble in 1 cup of feta cheese. Once the quinoa has rested, fluff it with a fork and mix it into the egg and cheese mixture.

5

Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed spinach and onion in the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.

6

Preheat your oven broiler. Once the edges are set, transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden and the frittata is cooked through.

7

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
