TOMATO + MUSHROOM FRITTATA
I have to admit that even though I have been cooking for years the one ingredient I battle to get right is eggs. I usually call Saul when it’s time to make an omelette or fry them.
So this recipe is right up my alley. Cause I don’t have to flip it. And I love the way the bright veggies peek through the fluffy and light egg.
You can sauté any veggies you want and add it to the mixture. I also love how you can make it in advance so it is perfect if you are entertaining.
I'm using parmesan cheese, so make sure to go easy on the salt. You can always add it at the table. In our house we love breakfast any time of the day so it’s perfect for weekend breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Cannot wait for you to try it.
