I scaled this back to use 2 eggs (1.6 servings) and made in a small square oven proof dish and the DM and I thoroughly enjoyed with some buttered wholemeal/wholegrain toast.<br/><br/><br/>Pat

Great basic frittata with the added bonus of being low fat - cottage cheese works so well here . I used dice green pepper instead of the chilies - thoroughly enjoyable mid week meal.

This was wonderful! Cheese, cheese and more cheese...just how we like our eggs! I halved the recipe, but we found ourselves wishing we had more once every last morsel was gobbled up. Thanks for sharing this recipe Lala Chef. We'll be making this often!

This was quite good for breakfast this morning! I halved the recipe and put it in a pie dish. I had to bake 10 minutes more. Lots of cheesy goodness. I thought I would be able to tell it had cottage cheese in it, but I couldn't. :) I used fat free cottage cheese. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! Made for PAC 2007
