Baked Frittata For One

Lennie's Note:

If you want to use the tomato, look for a roma plum tomato at the grocery store; it's perfect. This is a great lunch or supper for one person, and the recipe easily doubles too.

Made this for breakfast today and it was awesome! I used what I had handy - some coppa, tomatoes, mushrooms, parsley, green onions, chevre and five eggs - was making this for more than one person! It was all gone pretty quickly.

Delicious and flexible recipe -- I used lots of zucchini, green and white onions, garlic and fresh dill, since that's what was in the fridge this week. But I can imagine lots of good veggie combinations, depending on whats available.

Quick and easy but kind of bland for us. I had to cut back on the mushrooms because 6 would have been all we tasted if we had used them all. Thanks for sharing!
