As the Anchorage winter continues bringing snow we at Camai Bed and Breakfast use the time to find and try new recipes. The recipe for Spinach Frittata is a modification of a recipe from Big Bear B&B’s Carol Ross. Camai’s long term guests agreed that it is a “keeper.” Enjoy!

¼ cup chopped onion
½ cup fresh mushrooms
1 tbs butter
