  1. I really enjoyed the flavors in this frittata and the creaminess the ricotta provides, but I feel like it was a little thin. Perhaps my fry pan was too large so next time I'll prepare this "crustless quiche style" in a pie pan. Thank you for posting! Reviewed for ZWT - 7.
     
  2. Made this using extra un-used veggies from my fridge. I also didn't have fresh basil so I used dried. It was one of the best dishes ever and a great way to clean out my fridge and not have to throw out small amounts of un-used veggies.
     
  3. Quick & easy. The only veggie I had was a bag of spinach, but it still tasted good. It fed 2 small kids and 2 grown up. No complaints so I will make it again!
     
  4. I increased by 1 egg (actually egg beater equiv.) & about 2 oz of diced pepperoni. With the changes I found it could easily feed 4 people for breakfast. Enjoyed the flavours, thanks for sharing
     
  5. This made a tasty lunch for me today - I loved that it was quick and healthy! I halved the recipe and used fresh veggies from my garden. Didn't have any mushrooms so I used kalamata olives instead! I didn't flip my frittata, just covered it until it was set in the center (bottom got a little dark, so wouldn't really recommend doing that again!). The red peppers made a great addition! Made for ZWT4.

  1. Very yummy! I used regular red bell pepper instead of the fire roasted, and I added a clove of garlic. It also turned into more of a 'Spinach Ricotta Scramble', but that's just because I messed up. It all tastes the same!
     
  2. I was looking for a way to use up some ricotta and came across this easy recipe and I'm glad I did. This made a delicious Sunday night supper served with Italian bread which we enjoyed. The only changes I made was skipping the green onions and instead of the fire roasted pepper used a regular red bell pepper. Very good! Thanks for sharing this keeper!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
