Sunday was the Holy Roman Day of Eggs (aka National Egg Day), so I decided to celebrate by making a frittata. It was so yummy and has made a wonderful quick and easy breakfast to reheat. A frittata is basically an Italian open faced omelet (only fluffier). They can be cooked in a skillet or baked. I’ve even seen them cooked in a slow cooker. I like to bake mine because it’s quick and easy. Like an omelet, a frittata can be filled with a variety of ingredients. I made this frittata with kale, potatoes, onions, garlic and Parmesan cheese.
