Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
Stir the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture, then pour it over the spinach in the skillet.
Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
