NOTE: Skillet is HOT when it comes out of the oven. Do NOT attempt to grab the handle without a hot pad. Not that I have personal experience! 😉

this looks delicious. i’ve had the same problem with taking no knead bread out of the oven. any time i put a pot or pan in the oven now i leave my oven mitts on the whole time so i don’t forget.
Kristal says
Ouch! I’m sorry you got burned.
I don’t have an oven proof pan… but this looks yummy!
momlovesbeingathome says
That looks really good!
I’m so sorry about your burn!! That sounds terrible! Yea for sisters who are doctors! 🙂
Cindy says
That has to hurt. I got burned two weeks ago when I was boiling potatoes to freeze for mashed potatoes. I still have a scab. Sorry this happened to you.
Lauri says
Thinking about making this for Father’s Day breakfast. Looks good. What size of a pan did you use?
Erin says
I think it’s a 10 inch skillet.
CindyLou says
Yum. Looks like something to try this weekend for breakfast with all that fresh spinach now ready from the garden. Thanks for the idea.
Chookiechick says
I burned myself in exactly the same way with a cast-iron skillet fresh out of the oven. It hurts badly, but mine healed well so hopefully yours will too.
The frittata looks delicious. I will have to make this next week.
Marianne says
Yum…I love spinach but don’t think I could convice my smallfolk of it’s deliciousness!
Remind me to buy you an aloe plant for your kitchen window sill!
Take care.
Becky says
I’m so sorry you burned your hand!!
We have a dish in our household called “The Finger Burning Special”. Its not anything fancy, just pork chops with cream of mushroom soup over the top. Then you take it out near the end of cooking time and add french fried onions and cook for another 5 min. Only I forgot after putting the onions on that the pan was hot and burned all, yes all, of my fingertips. It was horrible! I had to miss work because I taught band and there was no way I could teach clairnet the next day. 🙂
But they healed and I am just fine, and now we have a funny story to tell. 🙂
Hope you heal quickly!!!
Crista says
That looks good, even if I’d have to make it for myself ;o). I’ve grabbed a pan out of the oven before with my bare hand, by accident. Not fun. Hope yours heals fast!
fairydust says
Looks delish – I will most definitely have to try it!!!
So sorry about your burn; that sounds terribly painful!!! 🙁
Mandy says
I hope that your burn is healing nicely. I wanted to know if I could successfully substitute some egg whites for some of the eggs. Thanks for all of the amazing and useful information and recipes.
Tina says
I just found eggs on a huge special (5 dozen for $2), and remembered this as one of the ways we’re going to be using up eggs in the next few weeks. Probably going to use the last of my spinach from the garden to make it thought! 🙂
Mom2TwinGirls says
This is the 1st recipe I have made from your site. My girls (19 months) actually ate spinach because it was so yummy! I didn’t add the bacon but put in green peppers instead. This is my first frittata! Thanks.
SusieQ says
Thanks for this great recipe! I just bought my first cast iron skillet a few weeks ago, to make a frittata from another cook’s recipe. When I saw yours, it came at the perfect time as I had some spinach to use up beofre it got unusable. One change I made was 12 eggs instead of 8, because I have a 12″ pan and 8 eggs don’t fill it enough.
Jeannine says
Just made this tonight and it was fantastic. Perfect when paired with a homegrown canteloupe.
Erin Rose says
I whipped this up this morning. I had some sweet corn cut off the cob that I threw in as well. I wish I would have thrown more corn in. It was yummy. The only thing that I would have changed was to put a tad less pepper – otherwise it was yummy!!!!!
Sersa says
Made this tonight, it was so good and so filling. Thank you.
Colin says
Made this tonight for dinner, it was terrific, wife loved it too. Definitely a keeper this one.

Part of the reason for all this damage is that the spare tire hangs
on the end gate. If you’re like me, you may have dropped your share of electronic devices into water
and more often than not the results are disastrous. The new ZTE phone, as
of yet remaining nameless, might as well be called the Bingo.

In spite of winter’s freezing weather and lack of sun light the
mistletoe maintains its leaves green and glossy, as if the seasons wouldn’t matter to

commute to your place of Glasgow you may wish to search for locals who aren’t necessarily
