Frittata Recipe with All the Fixings!

Frittata is the Latin answer to our classic omelets:

It is an open-faced omelet, about an inch high, with other ingredients mixed into the egg mixture rather than used as a filling. The batter is poured into a large skillet and placed on a stovetop, just a few minutes until the bottom is set, then baked a few minutes in a hot oven until just set. It is then cut into wedges. Frittatas are great fun as amazingly versatile: you can use any filling you like, they are ready in minutes, and can be served hot or at room temperature. Also, one serving of frittata will include just about one egg if served as a first course, 2 eggs if it is served in larger portions as a main course, making it a good choice for all of us watching their egg, protein and calorie intake.

I will make a few suggestions, and you will have fun playing with the fillings and getting different results each time. A good-quality oven-proof large skillet is all you need to make  6 to 8 servings in one shot.

Frittata is good at room temperature too, so don’t worry about leftovers.
