"A frittata (also known as crustless quiche) is a perfect palette for colorful vegetables and strongly flavored cheeses. What I love about frittatas is that they are one of the few egg dishes that are delicious at room temperature and can be stored in the refrigerator (or even frozen) for days. This one is not just for breakfast - Try it for lunch or..."

"I came up with this one night to satisfy both my husband's wish for an olive oil-based pasta dish, and my craving for artichokes.
