Method

  3. In a mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, ricotta, 1/2 of the parmesan cheese, herbs and salt
  4. Combine spinach with the mix
  5. Combine the rest of the vegetables and the pecans, folding in so that the egg / ricotta mix is mixed thoroughly
  6. Spray oil a casserole dish or baking dish and carefully pour the mixture in

  8. Place in oven for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the frittata is set and the parmesan topping has browned
