Spinach and Zucchini Frittata – a simple egg & veggie dish that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And it’s healthy!
At first, I thought I made a quiche. Then, I did some googling and learned that a quiche typically has a crust and cream (like this spinach feta quiche).
A frittata has no crust and a little milk. So, frittata it is.
I love that it is so simple and you can throw just about any veggies you want into it. Or some ham, that would probably be good.Life has been super hectic lately with being back to work and learning how to be a mom. I sometimes think I’ve got the hang of it, but Baby Girl likes to switch things up on me to keep me on my toes. For that reason, I need easy meal ideas. This fits the bill.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9″ pie plate with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, add some olive oil and the minced garlic.
extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Add in the sliced zucchini. Season with salt, pepper, and Montreal chicken seasoning. Stir frequently and let cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
2 small zucchini, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Montreal chicken seasoning
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the eggs, egg whites, milk, and seasonings and whisk to combine.
3 large eggs, 3 large egg whites, ¾ cup milk
Place the cooked zucchini into the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over the top.

Pour the egg mixture on top of the zucchini. Tear/chop up the spinach and sprinkle it over the egg/zucchini. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
1 cup fresh baby spinach
