TOMATO AND SPINACH FRITTATA
There are lots of Spinach, Tomato recipes but when I checked this one is a little different. I threw it together and liked the result. I say it is for 2 but that is if it is served with a salad and a roll. Hope you enjoy it. I like lite Havarti but use your favorite cheese. The hot spice is optional but it does give some pep to the recipe. An 8" pie plate works but it needs to have at least 1 1/2 " sides. I used an 8" x 6" casserole dish. I used adobo chili pepper for my "Hot" spice.

Steps:
- In small bowl with wire whisk or fork, beat eggs. Stir in cheese, garlic powder, basil, salt, pepper and nutmeg; set aside.
- In 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet with sloping sides (omelet or crepe pan), heat oil over medium heat. Add spinach; cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once or twice and watching carefully to prevent burning, until spinach is slightly wilted (if necessary, add 2 tablespoons water if spinach becomes dry).
- Reduce heat to low. Spread spinach evenly in skillet; top evenly with tomatoes. Pour egg mixture over top. Cover; cook 12 to 15 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned and top is set, lifting edges occasionally to allow uncooked egg mixture to flow to bottom of skillet. Cut into wedges.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor. Halve them so they cook evenly.
- Baby spinach is a great choice for this frittata because it wilts quickly and doesn't overpower the other ingredients. If you don't have baby spinach, you can use regular spinach, but be sure to chop it finely.
- Use a nonstick skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat so that it cooks evenly throughout. If you cook it over too high heat, the outside will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Don't overcook the frittata. It should be cooked until the eggs are just set and the frittata is slightly puffed. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
Conclusion:
This frittata with cherry tomatoes and baby spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
