6/8/2014

Jess Dang from Cook Smarts, an educational cooking website that features a weekly online meal planning service, says, "Feta adds a savory layer to the frittata. Paired with an avocado citrus salad, this would make a great brunch for company, too."

Spinach, Mushroom and Feta Frittata

1-1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, sliced
salt
1/2-pound brown mushrooms, quartered
4 ounces baby spinach
8 large eggs, whisked
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
4 ounces feta cheese

Preheat oven to 400F.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, onions, and a dash of salt. Saute for about 5 minutes, until softened. Next add in mushrooms and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, to let mushrooms soften. Add in spinach leaves and toss through to let the heat wilt the spinach.

Stir together the eggs, yogurt, and feta; pour egg and feta mixture into the skillet; Stir to mix everything, then transfer to oven. Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Citrus and Avocado Salad

1-1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
2 or 3 citrus fruits (grapefruit or oranges), segmented
