How to Make Spinach Frittata
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and set an oven rack in the middle. Grease an 11x13 baking dish with cooking oil spray. Set aside. Place the frozen spinach bag on a microwave-safe plate-microwave for 7 minutes.
Transfer the cooked spinach to a colander to drain. Press the spinach with a large spoon to remove all the excess liquid. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic-season with ½ teaspoon Kosher salt and ¼ ground black pepper.
Cook occasionally until the onions get very soft, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and cilantro. Cook, stirring for another minute or two, and set aside to cool off.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, remaining ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon ground black pepper until blended.
Whisk in the sour cream and cornmeal until smooth. Add the cheese and spinach mixture and whisk until evenly combined.
Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake the Spinach Frittata until just set and puffed until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature. Enjoy!
