Flexible Frittata

A Frittata is an Italian oven baked egg dish; similar to an omelette, made with savory ingredients like vegetables, meats and/or cheese mixed with beaten eggs, rather than folded inside, it can be flipped or the top can be finished under a broiler.

It is a quick cooking method, something you can make ahead and eat at any time of the day. Frittatas are served hot or at room temperature, cut in wedges. Preferably with a side salad.
