A frittata is an egg-based Italian dish, reminiscent of an omelette. Frittatas can seem intimidating to make, but they are actually quite easy and fun to make. Since they are egg based, they are the perfect weekend brunch meal. Make no mistake, though, they also make a great everyday dinner dish, and make excellent leftovers.

They’re super versatile! You can use any veggies or meats that you find in your fridge, making them the perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. In our frittata, we used bacon and asparagus.

Buon Appetito!!
