So I have never made a Frittata before, this past week I read a blog post about an Aspargus Frittata my friend Jo-Lynne at Musing of a Housewife. My kids love my Quiche so I though they would love a Frittata. Thanks to Jo-Lynne I improvised a little can came up with my own version based on her recipe. The kids loved it my husband liked it better than my Quiche because he does not like crust. My son at 2 helpings then ate the rest for breakfast in the morning. It was super easy in one pan.
I posted a picture on facebook and my cousin Donna asked for the recipe = blog post, sorry light on the pictures I did not expect to be writing it up.
The Pan used in making this Frittata was the 360 Cookwear 3.5qt Saute pan which amazing cooks at a med to low heat allowing the Frittata to to come up to temperature at a very consistent pace. Also the lid on this pan has vapor seal which allows the steam to play in part in healthy cooking. Another benefit is that 360 cookwear can go from the stove top to oven with easy. I have been using this pan for several months and it is the first pay I use for all my meals.
