This easy recipe combines the comforting flavors of ramen noodles with fresh spinach and gooey cheese for a delicious twist on a classic frittata. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying meal any time of day.
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with a lid, warm up some oil over medium heat. Toss in the green onions and cook them for a couple of minutes until they soften. Add one package of spinach along with 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet, and let it steam for about a minute until the spinach wilts. Give it a good stir with tongs, then add the second package of spinach and the remaining tablespoon of water. Cover again and cook for another 2 minutes or so, stirring once or twice, until everything is tender. Take the skillet off the heat.

Step 2
While the spinach cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Break each block of ramen noodles into four pieces and cook them for about 3 minutes until just tender. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. Add the noodles to the skillet with the spinach and mix everything together well, spreading it out evenly in the pan.

Step 3
In a blender, combine the eggs, spreadable cheese, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then pour this mixture over the spinach and noodles. Gently stir the mixture with a fork so the egg can flow underneath. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 4
Pop the skillet into the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and a toothpick comes out clean. Once it’s done, cut it into four wedges and serve straight from the pan.

Cook's tip
- Use fresh spinach for the best texture, but frozen spinach works well if drained thoroughly.
- Cook the ramen noodles just until tender to avoid overcooking in the oven.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
