Also known as an 'Italian Omelette', this simple dish will spice up any 'need in a hurry' dinner (or breakfast, lunch, or brunch). I used chopped ham, but chicken, sausage would work. If you need to feed more people, just double and use larger pan.

My own recipe. Hearty frittata for two with broccoli. Very filling. The pancetta adds a lot of flavor, but you may omit for a still flavorful vegetarian version.

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 large eggs

Tips:
