Recipe Spotlight: The Frittata!

The response to our recipe review earlier this week got us thinking more on frittatas. They are one of our favorite weeknight meals - endlessly adaptable, and easy to throw on at a moment's notice. We realized that there are quite a few recipes for frittatas in our archives. Here's a look at some of our past frittata content - maybe you should whip one up for supper tonight?

My wife made a delicious frittata or Spanish omelette not too long ago with some fresh potatoes from her mom's garden. One of my favorite breakfast/lunch foods.

This recipe for a flat zucchini omelet is in between frittata and omelet. It is a super easy way to use up some zucchini and is incredibly tasty.

I made a curried sweet potato frittata and an eggplant frittata for my birthday potluck. I've been craving them ever since! I have zucchinis in my fridge, and sometime this morning, I intend to make a version of the frittata posted here earlier this week.

I tried the zucchini frittata the other day, it came out de-lish!

Always my favorite "but I don't WANT to cook" meal. Wednesday was one with green peppers, cubanelles, corn, onions and a little chihuahua cheese. Happy, tasty and fast. Awsome way to use up the extra things in the fridge!

I literally just finished making my first fritatta, and have a question. I used a cast iron skillet, and found that the bottom of the fritatta is pretty salty, while the rest of it is just fine. Is this a result of using cast iron? Did i not mix up the eggs enough? Any ideas?

I was totally inspired by this post to make my first frittata this weekend. I used pumpkin from our CSA, mushroom, sage and goat cheese. Got major compliments from the guests... looks like I just discovered a new vegetarian main dish.
