Frittata

Ingredients:
1 medium sized diced russet potato
1/4 diced green bell pepper
1/4 diced white onion
2 diced garlic cloves
4 large diced baby bella mushrooms
2 hand fulls of spinach
4 beaten eggs
Feta cheese
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper

*I also added:
-1/2 jalapeno
-4 strips of bacon
-avocado

How to:

Preheat oven at 400 degrees

To make your life easy:
1. Dice the potato and put into a bowl or zip lock bag (if you choose zip lock bag pierce the bag with a fork to allow for movement of hot air) and insert into microwave for 3 minutes
*2. If you're adding bacon and do not want to make it stove top, put 3 pieces of paper towel on a plate (2 underneath and one on top) with the 4 strips of bacon in between. Heat for 2.5 minutes on either side.

After rinsing, chop/dice:
Bell pepper, onion, garlic, mushrooms and spinach.

Sautee:
Add a teaspoon of olive oil to a pan and begin to sauté onion, garlic and bell pepper until it becomes aromatic, then add the softened potato dices. Cook until the potato browns a little.
Then add the mushrooms and spinach (and jalapeno if you choose). Cook until all spinach is wilted.

Since I didn't have a skillet, I used a pie pan; I transferred all of the veggies (+bacon) to the pie pan.

Whisk 4 eggs adding the salt, pepper and cayenne pepper at this point.

Pour the whisked eggs over the veggies in skillet/pie pan and sprinkle feta cheese on top.

Put into the oven for 15 minutes. To check if it is ready, stick in a tooth pick. If it comes up clean, it is ready, if not, leave it in for a few more minutes.
When serving, add fresh avocado slices on top and enjoy!
