Ingredients

1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion peeled and diced medium
1/2 lb. fresh baby spinach leaves
8 whole eggs
4 egg whites
1 T. heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheese your choice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Start by adding a few teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil to a cast iron skillet. If you don’t have one, you can always saute in a regular pan and then later transfer all the ingredients into a pie plate.
Dice up a whole yellow onion and add to the heated olive oil and saute until soft and translucent,
Add the baby spinach to the pan and continue to saute until wilted.
Remove from heat and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Whisk the eggs, cream cheese and salt & pepper.
And pour right into the skillet, gently dispersing the ingredients evenly into the pan. Bake for about 25 minutes until the frittata has puffed up and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow the puffiness to subside.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Eggs aren't just for breakfast. Frittata makes a delicious lunch or dinner, too!
