Radish and Spinach Greens Frittata

4-6 Servings

Our end of Spring/early summer harvest always consists of radish and spinach. They always come in first and seem to do well early on in the gardening season. Going into July, it will be too hot to plant anymore radishes. We tried one year but the heat makes them far too spicy.


Did you know that radish greens/tops are edible? They are a bit prickly when they’re raw so I don’t recommend consuming them that way. However, once they’re cooked they have quite a nice silky texture. It’s soft like spinach but with a heartier texture similar to chard. I love to add them to stir fries, pasta sauce and soup.


I had an abundance of radish and spinach greens in my fridge and thought they would be fantastic in a frittata. Frittatas are one of my favorite breakfast foods. They’re so easy to make and there are endless possibilities. I hope you give this one a try!
