instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened.

    3

    Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

    4

    Stir in 2 cups of spinach and cook just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.

    5

    In a large mixing bowl, crack 8 eggs and whisk until well combined.

    6

    Add the beef and spinach mixture to the beaten eggs, then fold in 1 cup of cheese.

    7

    Grease a muffin tin with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and lightly golden on top.

    9

    Let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
