Frittatas are one of the most forgiving dishes that you can prepare. Swap out the herbs, the type of cheese (feta or parmesan would also be yummy), and even the veggies themselves and it will all work out. Don’t skimp on the eggs. Keep your proportions steady and you have a dish that works for any time of day. If you have leftovers, they are equally delicious warm or cold. This particular combo sounds fancy. It’s also very kid friendly and comes together quickly.
