About Recipe
Eggs, especially those raised from pasture raised hens, are an important part of our diet. We eat them as part of various cooked dishes, baked dishes; and we eat them scrambled, poached, fried, as omelets and frittatas and of course as Huevos Rancheros. This dish is eggs in the Frittata format; cooked in a skillet with cheese and vegetables and finished in the oven. It is a delicious combination of baby spinach, tomatoes, peppers, eggs and cheese.
