Eggs cooked in a skillet. That's exactly what a frittata is, and sometimes it is the reason you get up in the morning, other than the essential mug of coffee or steaming tea.
Either way, you need to eat something substantial to get your body moving upon waking, and eggs are a good way to go about that. And one can never really get tired of a frittata, as it is an excellent way to use up whatever leftover veggies you have in the pantry or fridge.
It is not quite an omelet, nor is it a pizza, but you can eat it hot or cold, and that makes for an excellent recipe, always.
Frittatas also happen to be graciously easy to reheat, and they can be stored in the fridge (wedges are nice!) in an airtight container for up to a week; how's that for preparing breakfast ahead of time?
We already mentioned that you can use leftovers in a frittata; how do you know what flavors work well together? We have a few suggestions to get you started: ham and leek, spinach with bacon and onions, tomato and basil frittata, sausage and sweet potato...
Any way you slice your frittata, it really is a great way to start the day, whether you are waking up alone or preparing breakfast for a crowd of ten hungry friends or family members.
