“Frittata” is a recipe based on an Italian dish which translates to “egg-cake”. In my personal opinion, it is basically a crust-less quiche minus the added milk. Frittatas are a great way to use leftover vegetables. In this recipe I used some Hatch roasted green chiles, tater tots and left over roast chicken. Frittatas are quite simple and are a healthy option for breakfast or brunch. Another great thing about frittatas is that you can be creative and add a variety of your own favorite ingredients to make this tasty Italian dish. “Frittata” is a recipe based on an Italian dish which translates to “egg-cake”.
