\"frittata\"The versatility and creativity of frittata combinations are almost endless, making it one of my go-to dishes for a quick and healthy meal any time of the day. I throw just about any combination of veggies and meats in a pan, saute for a few minutes, add cheese and herbs, cover with beaten eggs and milk and finish in the oven. Frittatas are a great way to be creative and finish up leftovers in the fridge and they are just as tasty served hot, cold or room temperature!<\/p>\n
