Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

  8. Garnish with additional parsley and enjoy your aromatic, mouthwatering brunch!

Chef’s Insight

To ensure an even bake, use a heavy nonstick skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking.
