This is my first attempt at a frittata, I must say it turned out well, minus grabbing the pan handle after taking it out the stove and burning my fingers. I currently am sitting writing this with burnt fingers resting on an ice cube. Ok back to the frittata.
My favorite type of omelet is a Denver omelet so why not try and Denver frittata. My girlfriend Sarah had my husband and I over for breakfast recently and she made a frittata. She told me how easy it is to make, it was delicious, and it looked alot looks fancier than an omelet. It is also less work than a quiche and doesn’t have the crust so it’s a heather option. So the moral of the story is… it is easy to make, looks pretty, and healthy for you….. therefore I’ll be making frittata more often.

This is the mean pan that burnt me. Make sure your pan is oven safe. This is a calphalon pan, I went online to see if it was oven safe. Their website was awesome telling you the heat your pan can withstand, this pan can go up to 425 degrees in the oven.
I really enjoyed this breakfast and the best part of is, is that the rest of in the fridge waiting for Jay and myself to warm it up tomorrow morning!
