First Basket of the Season

Okay...so I noticed that the last post I made on this blog was about a Frittata and this one is too. But we were so excited to have our basket we had to make something quick and easy tonight so we could enjoy them. Here is what we got this week. Salad Turnips Scallions Asparagus Spinach Salad Mix Spicy Salad Mix

  Fritatta
8 eggs 
1/2 cup half and half 
2 strips bacon 
1 bunch spinach 
3 scallions 
1 cup cheddar Jack Cheese 
Salt 
Pepper

 I diced up the bacon and started it in a non-stick pan. Right about the time it started to crisp up I added my chopped scallion. I cooked that a bit until the bacon was crisp and the onion was soft. Next I added my spinach (roughly chopped) and cook that until it had wilted down. In a separate bowl I wisked together the eggs and half and half. I let the spinach,onion, bacon mixture cool a bit and then added in my eggs. I then added salt and pepper.  Over medium heat I stirred it a while until the eggs started to cook and it began to look like scrambled eggs. I stirred in the cheese and then let it sit for a bit to brown and cook through. After it was cooked mostly through I slid the fritatta off onto a plate and then used the plate to flip the frittata over in my pan. Once the second side was browned, I added a bit of cheese on top and served with our salad greens. A fantastic way to use 3 of our basket items.
