Questions & Replies

  1. What size skillet did you use. My Frittata was very good but a little to thin. More like a pancake.

  1. This made a simple light dinner full of flavor. I used a 12 inch frying pan and next time I will choose a smaller one as it was quite thin- that surely didn't affect the flavor however! Enjoyed for ZWT 4 by a member of Los Jefes de la Cocina
     
  2. Excellent! Used only 4 eggs and beefed up the spinach. Tossed in a tbl of bacon bits and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks!
     
  3. Excellent tasting, quick, easy and healthy. Yum. I used a whole medium onion and sliced the mushroom to speed up the cooking. Substituted half feta for the cheese because I like feta with spinach. Added some left over cubed cooked chicken thighs. I think this recipe could accept a host of left-overs and blend nicely. Delicious dinner. Thank you.
     
  4. Can you prepare ingredients one or two days ahead of time and keep in refrigerator? I am very disabled and live alone. Dishes I can prepare ahead can mean the difference in whether I eat one meal or two that day; or maybe if I eat at all. (it's 5:00 pm and all I've eaten today is an egg, seriously. don't want pity but help is much appreciated) Thanks for the healthy recipes!
     
  5. Very good recipe. Instead of broiling, I baked in a 8x8 ovenproof dish the oven for 25 minutes at 350. At 20 minutes I sprinkled with the Parmesan cheese. I did slice the mushrooms and added 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese to the egg mixture, but that was my only change. You could bake in the ovenproof skillet, I would imagine it would take about 20-25 minutes at 350. My broiler doesn't cook evenly and that is why I chose to bake it.

  2. This has such wonderful flavor! I must confess to changing it up quite a bit, however. In order to make it more Ph-friendly, I upped the veggies and reduced the eggs. I also used cooked collard greens in place of the spinach and onion salt in place of the onion and salt. I will definitely be making it again!
     
  3. yum! this was my first frittata and it turned out great. The only thing i did different was use mozzerlla cheese instead of parmesan and it was great.
