Mushroom, Spinach and Feta Frittata is an easy breakfast recipe that’s perfect for brunch, lunch, dinner or weekday breakfasts.
I made you a frittata today! With mushrooms. And spinach. And cheese (duh).
I’ve always considered myself a pretty healthy eater, but when my doctor told me during my most recent appointment that I need to eat more leafy greens, I got a little offended. Then I pretended that it’s just something he has to tell all his patients. Because it’s just generally good health advice. It must have nothing to do with my iron deficiency. Nope. I’m a perfect healthy eater. With perfectly healthy eating habits. (If anyone tells him about all the Halloween candy I ate this week, I’ll give you a noogy).
At least that wasn’t half as bad as the time I ate Cheetos right before getting blood drawn. Needless to say, I had to return for further testing after my “junk food” levels were abnormally high. *Face palm.*
After I accepted the fact that he’s probably right and I probably do need to eat more leafy greens, I got to brainstorming ways to eat them in the winter, since I can’t stand salads when it’s snowing.
And this Mushroom, Spinach and Feta Frittata is what I came up with. Sneaking your leafy greens into breakfast is actually a genius idea. Whether you blend them into smoothies, scramble them with your eggs, or bake them into a frittata … eating leaves is a great way to start any day. (Said no one ever).
But seriously, this frittata is delicious. The feta cheese compliments the mushrooms and spinach perfectly. Plus, it’s super duper easy to make! Make this on Sunday for food prep for the week, or whip it up for a weekend brunch, or make it for lunch or dinner. You’ll surely love this Mushroom, Spinach and Feta Frittata even if you don’t like leafy greens.
I’m making Mushroom, Spinach and Feta Frittata before my next doctor’s appointment. And I might just show up with spinach still in my teeth. TAKE THAT!

Haha! What a great way to get your greens in! I love frittatas and this looks divine. While I was pregnant I had to get my glucose levels checked and you aren't supposed to eat a certain number of hours before it which is an insane thing to ask a pregnant woman to do. I had a huge bowl of cereal maybe two hours before and my glucose was through the roof. They let me come back later and re-do it before having to take the three-hour long test

Thanks Amanda! And oh my goodness - it makes total sense that eating beforehand would affect results, I just didn't think about it! Haha keeping food from a pregnant woman should be illegal.
