I recently had lunch with a friend and we enjoyed a wonderful frittata as part of our meal. Frittatas are such a great dish to serve; they are easy to make, delicious and take very little time to put together. We had a spinach, red onion, red pepper, oregano, and parmesan frittata. Frittatas come together so quickly and are so versatile that you can't miss when you make one.
Eggs are not only delicious, but they are also a great food to have in your diet. A protein powerhouse, two eggs contain 12 grams of protein. They also provide iron, calcium, and vitamin A. One of the best things about eggs is that they're so versatile. Eggs can be served a wide variety of ways; you can serve them poached, hard cooked, soft boiled, fried, over easy, scrambled, as an omelette, the list goes on.
This Simple Summer Frittata is one of my quick and easy favorites. It comes together very quickly for a fuss-free, easy meal. And leftovers, if there are any, are just as delicious as the first time you serve them. Add this to your repertoire for quick summer cooking and you'll always have a go-to lunch or dinner that's sure to please.
