minutesWe love eggs in our family. I love frittata’s as they are easy to do and something we make usually on Sundays for brunch with leftover vegetable from the night before. This recipe is perfect for dinner because it is very hearty and has great flavors. This serves with good bread and a salad with a glass of wine, makes a perfect evening.
