Frittata

Frittata

Buy now everyone should know that I love making breakfasts that allow me to make them the night before and just reheating in the morning and hey presto we have breakfast.

Since I have discovered frittata’s I have found endless frittata recipes everywhere I look.

I came across this recipe in Ree Drummond’s cookbook.

I loved this recipe as it finally gave me an excuse to use the pecorino cheese that I bought by accident and has been sitting there in the fridge just waiting to be used.

I found that out of all the frittatas I have made in the past, I loved this one the best, it had spinach and potatoes, bacon and even peppers. There was so much left over that it lasted me for breakfast, lunch, supper and even a midnight snack. The following morning my father was happy to see that the frittata was finished because he said he was tired of eating the same meal 3 times in a row. Breakfast is for breakfast, not lunch and definitely not supper.
