Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup parmesan - grated (optional)
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Avocado
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes
  • Lettuce leaves
  • 2 pieces ciabatta bread - toasted

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs, parmesan cheese (if using), a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Whisk the egg mixture well.
  • Add the baby spinach to a pan over medium heat, and let them wilt for a few minutes. Remove them from the pan and add them to the egg mixture.

Stovetop Option

  • Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and distribute it evenly across the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and check often. Once the outside edge of the frittata is slightly golden, flip the frittata and cook on the other side for a couple of minutes (note 1).

Oven Option

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet. Add the egg mixture and distribute it evenly across the pan. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, then move the skillet into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  • Peel the avocado, remove the seed, and mash it with a fork. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
  • Toast the bread in a toaster or on the grill.
  • Assemble the sandwich: Spread the avocado on the top half of the ciabatta bread. Add some lettuce leaves on the bottom layer, add a couple of slices of frittata, and four sundried tomatoes, then top each sandwich with the slice covered in mashed avocado.

Notes

Note 1: This is my favorite method to flip a frittata: Once the frittata is almost cooked on the bottom layer (around 80% there – check with a spatula – you want to see a golden color – this takes 5 to 8 minutes), slide the frittata on a plate.
Do not flip it! Slide it.
Then, with a quick move, invert the plate back into the pan, so the frittata is now cooking on the other side. Make sure to use a plate that is slightly larger than your frittata.
