In our home frittatas and quiche are always a real easy way to use up ready-to-use ingredients as well as left-overs. Although our little girl loves most foods these creations are still simple ways to get the good healthy stuff in her! —JennT1981

In step 5, is this where you're cooking the onion and garlic? Are you also cooking the herbs and spinach or just stirring them into the egg mixture?
