Ingredients
  

  • Pesto:
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Frittata:
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pesto:
  • Place the basil leaves, spinach leaves, garlic and walnuts into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula and pulse again. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while the food processor is running until the pesto is smooth. Stir in some salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
  • Frittata:
  • Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Gently whisk in the sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese. Pour the egg mixture into a medium high-sided sauté pan coated with cooking spray.
  • Cook on medium heat, gently moving the eggs back and forth with a spatula until they start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes until eggs are almost set. Place the pan in oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
  • Cut the frittata into 8 slices and garnish with pesto. Serve warm.
