    Ingredients

    • 1 cup finely chopped onion
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 3 tsp. prepared horseradish
    • 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
    • 4 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
    • 5 large eggs, beaten
    • 3 slices bacon
    • 5 tsp. balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tbsp. EVOO
    • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
    • 5 oz. mixed baby greens

    • 1 can (14 to 15.5 oz.) cannellini beans, rinsed 

    Preparation

    1. In a medium bowl, microwave the onion, cream, horseradish and thyme on high until the onion is tender and the cream is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach, eggs, 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.

    2. Coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray. Add the spinach mixture; cover with a plate. Microwave on medium just until the frittata starts to set around the edges, about 5 minutes. Uncover and microwave on medium just until the center of the frittata is set, about 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer. Microwave on high until the bacon is crisp, about 3 1/2 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then crumble. Whisk the vinegar, EVOO and mustard into the bacon grease in the bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss the dressing with the mixed greens and cannellini beans; season.

    4. Divide the frittata and salad among plates. Top the salad with the crumbled bacon.
