Cheesy Green Chili Frittata

Submitted by RedhairMac

"Perfect for a Sunday brunch but wonderful any ol' time. Cook's Notes: This recipe can be easily doubled. It is plenty as is if there are side dishes to accompany it but may not be enough for more than 3 or 4 eaters if it is the only dish. Also, feel free to garnish with yummy things like sour cream, pico de gallo, salsa, avocado slices, etc."
