Be Prepared Frittata
My children love eggs for breakfast especially frittatas but I do not always have an hour to cook and clean up at breakfast so this recipe is perfect as I can prepare most ingredients and get rid of the messy items the night before then just throw it all together and bake in the morning.
Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1 large bag of spinach it sounds a lot but will cook down to almost nothing
- 1 large potato peeled and sliced fairly thin
- 2 onions sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- cooked bacon optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- Grease a sheet pan with olive oil then lay the sliced potatoes onto the tray. Season with more olive oil, salt and pepper then place into the oven until soft and golden – around 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
- Starting the night before, melt the butter and a large splash of olive oil in a wide bottomed pan and saute the sliced onion until softened and golden brown – around 15 minutes. Place into a bowl and set aside to cool.
- Tip the bag of spinach into the pan that the onion was sauteed in and allow to wilt. Place into a sieve over a bowl to cool so that any excess water can drain away.
- Once they are all cooled, cover and place in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning, preheat the oven to 375ºF and grease a baking tray with sides.
- Mix the eggs in a jug and season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the potatoes onto the bottom of the tray then top with the spinach and onions.
- Pour over the beaten eggs. If using, sprinkle with the cooked bacon.
- Now place in the oven to bake until the eggs are completely set and the fillings heated through, around 20-30 minutes.
- This is where you can sit back and relax with your coffee!
