The word Frittata - is based on and Italian dish which translates to egg-cake. In the culinary arts a Frittata is best described as a flat Italian style omelet. Traditionally they are prepared in a cast iron skillet, but in my experience, cook just a well in a not stick frying pan.
Frittatas can include a variety of vegetables, meats, cheeses and often pasta. Frittatas are a great way to use leftover vegetables and are a simple healthy option for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The great thing about frittatas is that you can be creative and add a variety of your favorite vegetables, meats and cheeses to this Italian dish. I make frittatas often because they are easy and quick and as I mentioned earlier and great way to use up leftover veggies from dinner the night before.
For this frittata recipe I used some left over kale, roasted red peppers, pancetta, onion and feta cheese. Bon Appétit,
