A few useful notes

  • Use fresh spinach for this version. Frozen spinach needs thawing and thorough squeezing before use, which changes the preparation time.
  • A 12-inch pan makes a thinner frittata and can shorten the bake; this timing assumes a 10-inch pan.
  • Metric cup and spoon amounts are rounded volumes, not gram weights. Can sizes refer to unopened contents; drain and rinse where directed.
