Frittata

If you like an omelet, you’ll love a frittata! Some people consider this an open faced omelet, but the cooking process is a little different and as with most things – you’ve got options.

What’s really great about a frittata is that it’s so flexible. You can use just about any veggies you want, even frozen. (Just make sure you thaw them first.) Choose your favorite spices and herbs and enjoy.
