Step 1
Preheat broiler. Heat half the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or a skillet with a flameproof handle); add garlic and cook 1 minute.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet; add onion and cook 4 minutes or until soft.
Step 4
Add the red pepper, potatoes, herbs, and half of salt and pepper to the skillet; cook about 5 minutes longer or until potatoes are starting to get crisp.
Step 5
Flatten potato layer; broil 4 inches from heat about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Place pan back on burner; spread the spinach mixture evenly over the potato layer.
Step 7
Whisk eggs together with remaining salt and pepper; pour evenly over the spinach.
Step 8
Sprinkle cheese over the top; cook about 3 minutes or until eggs are beginning to set.
