Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is great for a light dinner, served with a crusty bun. You can bake the frittata in a glass baking dish instead of a saute pan if desired

Beautiful! I added 2 mushrooms as well for some extra flavour, also I had no idea what bisquick was(being from down under), so I added 2 tablespoons of flour, it was really really scrumptious, and great cold the next day too! Hubby had three servings so I guess that speaks for itself!

This was very tasty. I would love to add the peppers, but the kid doesn't like them, so I had to leave them out. Sigh! I believe it would have tasted even better with them added.

I made this with Gruyere and Parmesan, 2% milk, and red, green and yellow bell peppers. Even after 30 minutes of cook time, it never really set in the center, but we loved it anyway. The leftovers made an absolutely fabulous breakfast the next day.
