Step-by-step

1. Drain the defrosted spinach by squeezing all the water out. (You'll end up with just about a third of the original weight.)

   

2. Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat with the oregano, half of the grated Parmesan, half of the grated mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper.

   

3. Grease a pan with ghee and add sausage cut into chunks. Cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes to cook through and crisp up from all sides.

   

4. Add the spinach. Pour in the egg mixture and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook until the top starts to firm up and the edges are turning opaque (8-10 minutes).

5. Drizzle with the marinara sauce. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and the remaining parmesan and mozzarella. Place under a broiler for 5-7 minutes to crisp up.

   

6. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool down. Top with fresh basil just before serving.

   

7. Slice and enjoy! This frittata can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
