Tomato and Spinach Frittata

Bergy's Note:

There are lots of Spinach, Tomato recipes but when I checked this one is a little different. I threw it together and liked the result. I say it is for 2 but that is if it is served with a salad and a roll. Hope you enjoy it. I like lite Havarti but use your favorite cheese. The hot spice is optional but it does give some pep to the recipe. An 8" pie plate works but it needs to have at least 1 1/2 " sides. I used an 8" x 6" casserole dish. I used adobo chili pepper for my "Hot" spice.

i chose this recipes for the Vegetarian swap tag game because of my large amount of garden tomatoes and fresh herbs, I did increase the chili flake amount, also used old cheddar cheese, thank you for this delicious recipe Bergy!

I loved this! It was quite tasty. :) After making it a few times I started adding in other leftover veggies from my fridge... mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli florets, squash, etc. It's a delicious way to use up your leftovers! We make this frequently. Thanks!

Very tasty fritatta, and quick and easy to put together, had no havarti in so used old sharp white cheddar, I used both the chili flakes in the ingredients and the adobo spice in the directions, turned out great!
