Historical transcription

Source method

  1. 1

    Boil the spinach in the water clinging to its leaves, then cool it immediately in fresh water.

  2. 2

    Squeeze well, chop coarsely, and sauté with part of the butter, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    When the spinach has absorbed the butter, pour in the beaten, lightly salted eggs.

  4. 4

    Brown one side, turn the frittata with a plate, and cook the second side with the remaining butter. Add Parmesan to the eggs if desired.
