Frittata Recipe~ A Great Way To Use Leftovers!

Frittata is a dish I’m surprised I don’t make more often and include it in my weekly menus. A Frittata can be as simple as throwing some eggs, cheese, and some veggies together and baked. I like to make Frittata using leftover ingredients from the fridge.  I added all of our favorite ingredients…fried potatoes, tomatoes, ham, bacon, green peppers, broccoli and of course, the eggs and cheese. Serve with a side of fresh fruit and you have a perfect meal for breakfast or dinner!
