We loved this dish. Great way to use up cooked rice from the night before. We like some meat in our frittatas... in the end we forgot, however, didn't miss it. This dish is really tasty. Did it pretty close as written, just sub'd yogurt for some of the milk. It was good on it's own & also with salsa. Next time I'll try fresh jalapeno in with the green pepper. Awesome recipe, thanks for sharing.

This is SOOOOOO tasty! I just loved the idea of eggs, chili, and cheese together. Since I usually make frittatas out of whatever's in the fridge, I improvised a bit: pickled jalapenos instead of chilis, just a bit of cheese - parmesan and pepper jack (it worked fine!), and no green onion or tomatoes. I also threw in a few shakes of chili powder. Fantastic use of my leftover paella arborio rice!
