We love making something a little special on the weekends, when we have more time to dedicate to cooking and sharing a meal with family. That’s where this frittata comes in!
Frittatas are basically loaded omelettes that are way to thick to fold over, and are perfect for a quick meal- breakfast lunch or dinner.
You can also make a little more, pack it up and store in your fridge to enjoy throughout the week.
Try this quick frittata this weekend and enjoy!
