Recipe: Spinach and tomato frittata

I love frittatas because they are so versatile. They can be eaten any time of the day, hot or cold. They are also great for using vegetables that might not be at their prime. This spinach and tomato frittata is a basic recipe, a blank canvas for culinary creativity.

As it stands, this spinach and tomato frittata is gluten-free but not dairy-free. You can make it dairy-free by using non-dairy yoghurt and nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavour. If you do dairy, you can use cream instead of sour cream and your favourite cheese.

Also, feel free to add your favourite herb(s) and/or spice(s). I would suggest dried oregano, fresh thyme, smoked/sweet paprika, or chopped fresh chives. I like serving it with a dash of hot sauce on top.
