The Popeye Frittata

  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cooked chopped spinach (1 pkg. of frozen spinach)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
  • 1 tbs. margarine
  • 4 chopped green onions
  • 1 tbs. chopped hazelnuts, walnuts or sesame seeds

 

Beat eggs. Combine with spinach (make sure it’s well squeezed first!), parsley or cilantro, garlic and sea salt. Sauté the green onions in a medium oven proof frying pan, using the margarine. When the onions are slightly wilted, add the egg mix. Cook over a high heat until the egg starts to set up, shaking constantly to prevent burning. Finish under a broiler for several minutes. Top with the chopped nuts. Makes 2 servings.
