This easy recipe combines the comforting flavors of ramen noodles with a cheesy spinach twist for a delicious and satisfying meal. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a quick dinner, it’s sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen.
Start by heating your oven to 375°F. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with a lid, warm up a bit of oil over medium heat. Toss in the green onions and cook them for a couple of minutes until they soften. Add one package of spinach along with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and let it wilt for about a minute. Give it a stir with tongs, then add the second package of spinach and another tablespoon of water. Cover again and cook for another couple of minutes until everything is tender, then take the skillet off the heat.

Cook and Combine Noodles
While the spinach is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Break the ramen noodle blocks into quarters and cook them for about 3 minutes, stirring now and then to keep them from sticking. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. Add the noodles to the spinach in the skillet and spread everything out evenly.
03
Mix and Pour Egg Mixture
In a blender, mix together the eggs, spreadable cheese, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour this mixture over the spinach and noodles in the skillet. Use a fork to gently stir the spinach mixture, helping the egg mixture settle underneath. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese.
04
Bake Until Puffy
Pop the skillet into the oven and bake for around 35 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Slice it into wedges and serve it straight from the pan.

Cook's tip
- Make sure to cook the ramen noodles just until tender, so they don’t become mushy in the frittata.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking when cooking the eggs.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking to help it set and make slicing easier.
