Greek Spinach Frittata Serves 6
Savor the flavors of Greece with this simple recipe. Serve as an entree with pilaf or pasta and stuff leftover frittata into a pita with lettuce, tomato and mustard for a fast lunch. Or, slice off the top of a round loaf of peasant bread (one that’s larger around than your frittata baking dish), hollow out the loaf leaving 12 inch bread all around, then slide in the whole baked frittata. Replace the top crust and serve wedges of the stuffed bread for an elegant Sunday brunch. Any leftover frittata freezes well.
