Ingredients:

1 tbsp. olive oil;

2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites lightly beaten with 1 tbsp. of water;

60g (2 oz.) feta cheese, crumbled;

1½ cups (270g/7 oz.) of steamed spinach;

1 tsp. of dried oregano;

Salt and pepper to taste.

How to Cook the Frittata:

Preheat the grill.
In the bowl, mix together eggs beaten with water, salt, feta cheese and oregano. Heat the oven proof frying pan over a medium to high heat with 1 tbsp. of olive oil, before adding the egg and feta cheese mixture.
Cook for 1 min for the bottom to set, then add the cooked spinach spreading evenly, cover the frying pan with a lid and cook for 5-6 mins until the eggs are set and puffed up.
Take the lid off, put the frying pan under the grill and cook till the top is set and golden. Use a spatula to loosen the edges, then hold the pan tipped to one side and carefully slide the frittata on the plate and cut into wedges.
Season with pepper, add more salt if needed and serve on a warm plate.
