Ingredients
6 large eggs
1 cup baby spinach
½ cup marinated artichokes, drained
½ cup asparagus, chopped
¼ cup scallions, diced
½ cup goat cheese, crumbled
3 shallots diced
4 gloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chives, diced
Extra virgin olive oil
Himalayan sea salt to taste
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Saute the garlic, shallots and scallion in extra virgin olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Season with Himalayan sea salt and fresh ground pepper (you will probably want to season with the Himalayan sea salt and pepper throughout the cooking process). After two minutes or so, stir in the spinach and saute. While the vegetables saute, whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the chives and combine well. Once the spinach is wilted, add the egg mixture and cook on medium high. Add the artichoke hearts and asparagus and cook on medium low until the eggs start to set.
Preheat your oven to broil at 500 degrees.
Once the frittata is almost set, put the skillet in the oven for approximately five minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with crumbled goat cheese and serve.
