Spinach and Artichoke Frittata

This Spinach and Artichoke Frittata is perfect for a light lunch this Spring with peas, leek and goats cheese it is packed full of flavour!

I’ve been making the most of this beautiful Spring weather this week. The temperature is just perfect at the moment so I’ve been going for long walks, picnics and soaking up the sun. I can’t believe how warm it is already here in Tuscany but I’m definitely not complaining!

I’ve also been enjoying some lovely light lunches to go with the beautiful weather like my farro salad and this roasted veg sandwich with avocado mayo and goats cheese, both SO delicious. I also made this yummy spinach and artichoke frittata through the week for my boyfriend’s family.

It’s perfect for Springtime and is filled with delicious green veggies and tangy goats cheese. The great thing about this frittata is that it only takes 25 minutes in the oven and can be eaten hot or cold on it’s own or with a little salad.

To make the frittata I firstly sauté some leek and garlic until soft then add in some frozen peas and spinach. The spinach is wilted down and then I add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

I used jarred artichokes and cut them up into smaller pieces before adding them to the spinach and leek then it’s all placed in an oven proof dish.

I dollop over some mild, creamy goats cheese then whisk the eggs together with some parmesan and a splash of milk. The eggs are poured over the veggies and goats cheese then it’s baked in the oven for 25 minutes.

The result is light and flavour packed, you’ll love this on a warm Spring afternoon with a little salad!
