Before you get all…ERIN, YOU CAN’T PUT LETTUCE IN A FRITTATA…
Hold up.
Yes you sure can…when it’s spinach. And it’s delicious.
I used an older recipe and updated the method and adding some tomatoes. This method is new and doesn’t require sauteing the spinach ahead of time. Because I’m lazy. Well, really I’m just trying to survive the busy afternoons and simply didn’t have a minute to spare to saute the spinach. Lazy + busy = add the spinach fresh…it will turn out just fine!
Mix eggs.
Add spinach, tomatoes, bacon.
Combine and pour into quiche dish.
(I think this would be too much for a 9″ pie plate. You could scale it back a little, or risk it and fill it to the brim. Or use a 9″ square baking dish, or 7×11″ baking dish.)
Bake, add some cheese. Bake a little longer.
Serve this easy weekend breakfast, or brinner on a busy weeknight. Add a side of fresh fruit and some chunky bread or toast and you’ve got yourself a delightful meal!

Stupid question…but is the bacon raw or cooked?
