Spinach Potato Frittata
Frittatas are the Italian equivalent to an omelette. Often chock full of vegetables and cheese, they make a great quick, mid-week entree or sliced into wedges, a perfect appetizer. They are also a great way to make use of leftover cooked vegetables and meat sitting in your refrigerator.
We love to make frittatas for those special weekend brunches when the family gathers together. Use your own imagination to combine some of your own personal favorite vegetables, cheeses and meats and create a frittata your family will love!
Buon Appetito!
