Tomato Spinach Frittata

Frittatas are basically giant baked omelets. This recipe is super simple and makes for a healthy and filling breakfast. I put this together for brunch in just a few minutes. It looks gorgeous and can serve a crowd. One of the great things about frittatas is that, done properly, they are extremely healthy. This version has only 108 calories per slice. You can also refrigerate leftovers for a day or two and warm up before serving.

The key to a frittata is not to over or under cook it. Watch it carefully. Right before it is done cooking it will puff up in the oven. Once it settles insert a knife into the center and see if it comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
