Spinach Tomato Onion Feta Frittata




Ingredients:

1 lb spinach leaves (about 2 bunches), cleaned, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 medium onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
6 large eggs
3 egg whites
2 cups fresh spinach
6 grape tomatoes, quartered
3oz. feta cheese
3 Tbsp water
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Spray a 9" glass pie plate or other type of glass baking dish with nonstick spray.

3. In a small skillet, heat 1 T olive oil over medium-low.Add garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted. This will happen pretty quickly. Set aside.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, water, salt and pepper. Add the spinach mixture and stir to combine.

5. Pour into the prepared pie plate/baking dish. Top with the tomatoes and sprinkle with the feta cheese.

6. Bake for approx 15- 20 minutes or until eggs are completely cooked and set in the center.

Tip: To make mini Frittatas, bake in muffin pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cooking time will be less. I like to use the silicone muffin pans when making mini Frittatas.

Cucumber Feta Rolls



Ingredients:

2 cucumbers
6 ounces crumbled feta
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 tablespoons finely diced sundried tomatoes or red bell pepper
8 - 12 pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon roughly chopped dill or oregano
2 teaspoons lemon juice
pinch of pepper, or to taste

Directions:

Thinly slice the cucumbers longways on a mandoline at a 2mm thick setting. Alternatively, you can use a vegetable peeler if you do not have a mandoline. Lay the cucumbers on top of a paper towel lined cutting board while you prepare the filling.

Add the feta and yogurt to a medium bowl. Mash to combine using a fork. Add the bell pepper or sun dried tomatoes, olives, dill, lemon, and pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine. In a bowl, mash the feta using a fork.

Place 1 - 2 teaspoons of mixture at one end of a cucumber strip and roll up. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining strips. If not serving immediately, chill until ready to serve.
