Frittata with Spinach and Cheese

Frittata with Spinach and Cheese

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Yield: Serves 4-6

"Serving frittatas for breakfast or dinner, these have saved me on more hungry weeknights, as long as I have a few vegetables and maybe a little meat to throw in a skillet; everything to love about a quiche without the fuss of a crust and ready on the table in about 20 minutes."

Pair with Sparkling wine, Rosé  or lightly chilled Pinot Noir.

Ingredients

  • 6 large organic eggs
  • 1/4 c heavy cream
  • 1 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 small Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 4 c raw baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 c goat cheese (or shredded Gruyère or cheddar)

Preparation

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F.
  2. Whisk eggs and cream with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper together in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick, oven-safe frying pan or cast iron skillet, sauté potatoes in 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium-heat; sprinkle with remaining salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Add remaining olive oil, spinach, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring for 30 seconds to one minute, until spinach wilts down.
  5. Sprinkle cheese on top and let it just start to melt. Pour egg mixture into skillet, tilting the pan to make sure eggs settle evenly over vegetables; cook for a minute or two until the eggs at the edges of the pan begin to set.
  6. Put the pan in the oven and bake until eggs are set, about 8 to 10 minutes. To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata; if raw egg runs into the cut, bake for another few minutes. For a browned, crispy top, run the frittata under the broiler for a minute or two at the end of cooking. Cool for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve.

Chef's Note: Add whatever you have on hand; cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, grated zucchini (salt, then squeeze out water), chopped fresh mint, parsley or dill.

Service and product have both been excellent. Staff is very helpful and you've done a good job of hiring.

I've been a member of the CWC for around 13 years or so. And I've always loved it. Only one time did I get a bottle where the cork had been breached and the gang out there sent me two bottles immediately to make up for the inconvenience, of which there was none really. Keep up the good work, that's a well managed operation. You guys absolutely rock.

We have been members of the wine club, I think for more than 20 years. It has been a pleasure getting wine from you. Incredibly good consistently. Thank you.
