This is a very tasty frittata, & I stretched this into feeding 8 people by serving it along with bowls of fresh fruit & a homemade whole wheat bread ~ Gotta watch that cholesterol! We really enjoyed the inclusion of peas here, & we appreciate you sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my swapmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #25]

This is a lovely quick and easy dish to make. I served it as a side to veal schnitzels with mushrooms in a cream sauce and it complemented it nicely. Personal preferance next time I would add some mustard and fresh herbs like sweet marjoram and low fat milk could easily be substituted for the evaporated milk. This would go very nicely with a fresh salad for a light summer meal. Thanks for posting. Made for Make my Recipe Tag no.6
