- 1 bunch spinach washed and stemmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil, or any vegetable oil
- 2 each sweet red bell peppers seeded and cut in small dice, or orange
- 3 cloves garlic or to taste, finely chopped
- 9 each marjoram leaves, freshly chopped
- 1 x salt to taste
- 8 large eggs
- 1 x black pepper to taste
- 2 1/2 tablespoons milk
- Add the well washed spinach in a large frying pan with the water left on the leaves after washing.
- Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water.
- Finely chop, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet.
- Stir in the sweet bell peppers.
- Cook, stirring often, until tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and salt to taste, cook for about 25 to 30 seconds, then stir in the chopped spinach and the marjoram.
- Stir together for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
- Add the salt and pepper to taste, stir in milk, spinach and red peppers.
- Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in the skillet until the pan is hot.
- Pour in the egg mixture.
- Tilt the pan to spread the eggs and filling evenly over the surface.
- Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while.
- Once a while, remove the lid, tilt the pan, and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula to prevent the bottom from burning.
- The bottom should become a golden color.
- The eggs should be just about set, cook a few minutes more if theyre still a little bit runny.
- At the same time, preheat the broiler.
- Uncover the pan and put under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for about 2 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesnt burn.
- Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata doesn't stick, and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula.
- Slowly slide from the pan onto a large serving platter.
- Cut into wedges or any your favorite shape.
- Serve warm with some ketchup if needed.
