  2. Add 1 cup of chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1 pound of eggs and add in 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed spinach in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the edges set.

Things I’ve Learned

Always use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If you find the frittata sticking to the pan, make sure to use enough ghee. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat for the best results, or enjoy cold as a quick snack!
