Doesn’t it look amazing?!
The frittata is an egg dish – delicious for breakfast but well suited for lunch or dinner as well. It is flexible in that you can use a wide variety of cheeses, meats and vegetables… whatever you have on hand. Broccoli and mushrooms are my particular favorite.
Frittatas are more firm than quiche, which make them very well suited for a gluten-free diet. While I enjoy crustless quiche, I find that frittatas seem to hold together better – you can even eat a slice of frittata with your hand, like a pizza!
