Cooking with Leftovers - Frittata

Before I post the recipe here,
Does anyone know any tips for better sleep?

I'm exhausted...7 to 8 hours of bad quality sleep per day, it's driving me crazy,
Especially my dreams, I just can't stop them from invading in my brain,
These few days, I dreamt about zombies, Armageddon, snowboard at night,
I also dreamt about my friends, high school friends, and people I rarely talk to,
I even dreamt about curry rice!
Yes, guess that foodie part of me is inherent deeply in my blood that I can't even stop seeing food while my eyes are closed!

Help!


Ingredients?

8 eggs
1/4 cup of chopped onion
1/3 cup of shredded rotisserie chicken
1 riped tomato (chopped)
3/4 cup of shredded Parmesan
1 bundle of spinach
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil

How?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheits.
Brush the round baking pan with olive oil,
Cooking spray works fine, just that I don't have it in the house.

Drizzle some olive oil in the pan, toss in chopped onions and a pinch of salt,
Cook till the onions turned translucent, toss in the spinach,
Cook till fully wilted down, drain out any excess liquid, set aside and let it cool down a little bit.

Have a big bowl ready,
Mix the follow ingredients together:
Eggs, cheese, shredded chicken, chopped tomatoes, some salt, and some pepper,
You have to adjust the amount of salt used depending on how salty are the spinach and the rotisserie chicken.
Blend in the spinach we just cooked earlier,

Transfer the mixture to the baking dish.
Into the oven for about 35 minutes or so, till the top part turns slightly brown,
You can also insert a knife in the center of the mixture, if the knife comes out clean, your frittata is done!

I got rid off so many leftover ingredients by making this dish,
First is the spinach, it was on sale, 3 bundles for $0.99 (good deal huh?),
Eggs,
Cheese,
Rotisserie chicken.

Talking about chicken, some parts of the rotisserie chicken, especially the ones you get from the grocery store, can get pretty dry sometimes,
Using chopped tomatoes in the frittata helps adding that extra moisture into the chicken,
Tomatoes and dry chicken = good friends!

Now my stomach is satisfied, time to work on my sleeping quality....

Help!
