Ingredients:

• 2 cups of fresh baby spinach
• 1/2 cup basil leaves
• 1/2 cup parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup chives, roughly chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh tarragon
• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat milk
• 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup grated Manchego
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the broiler and position an oven rack 4 inches from the heat.

In a food processor combine the spinach, herbs, garlic and salt.  Add the milk and 2 tablespoon of the oil. Pulse until the mixture forms a pestolike paste.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs. Whisk in spinach mixture, 1/4 cup of the Manchego and black pepper.

Heat remaining oil in a 10 inch ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat.  Pour in egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until the frittata sets around the edges, about 5 minutes.  Sprinkle with remaining manchego.

Transfer the pan to the oven and broil 1 to 2 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.  Slice and serve.
