My kids and I love making this recipe. Now that they are 6 and 11, they can do it themselves 🙂 This is a fun and delicious recipe I used to make with my mom. I modified it to be healthier and have a wider variety of crunchy options! In Hawaii, we would add macadamia nuts (high in fat – beware but so good), coconut and dried fruit too! Enjoy!

This Spinach Frittata makes the perfect “Mini Meal” since it has lean protein (egg whites,) veggies (spinach) and lots of flavor. I made this last Sunday for brunch and put individual slices into containers so I could reheat them during the week. I love it for brunch or late breakfast. It saves in the refrig well for easy reheat on busy mornings, too. It is so tasty and good for you! Enjoy! Prep: 15 minutes.
