This was reduced to 2 servings and cooked in a 6-inch skillet. Made a lovely brunch for DH and me. By flipping this onto a plate and sliding it back into the pan, it was cooked entirely on top of the stove.

This frittata has a great combination of flavors. Use the basic instructions to devise your own combinations. Saute the veggies, whisk up the eggs and spices, fry to set, broil to finish. I use a frittata to use up bits of leftover veggies and meats. Let your imagination take over! Mexican with Pico de Gallo and cumin, Italian with tomatoes and basil, American with hot dogs and cheddar.

What a delightful meal! I used a little less oil, otherwise made as directed. Absolutely loved all that fresh basil with all those veggies and the feta. Easy to make and full of flavor - thanks for sharing a keeper!

This is amazing. The flavor is perfect. I didn't tweak it, whatsoever. That has got to be a first! This will be in our rotation of meatless EGGSiting dinner dishes. The timing was spot on as well. Just perfect.

Tasty! Beautiful combination of flavours and it was much enjoyed as a light dinner. I thought the quantity of olive oil may have been a little too much at first but using a good quality one it really added to the dish and kept it all nice and moist.
