Good way to use up all the chard and tomatoes I'm getting from my garden. Gave 4 stars because I had trouble flipping it. I think I'd rather stick it in the oven for a few minutes to get the eggs on top to cook.

This is fabulous. I used only egg whites, and added a few slices of chopped uncured turkey bacon and some mushrooms. So delicious!

Nice light egg dish incorporating lots of fresh veggies. I halved this recipe for my small family and cooked as directed; however, I could not flip the frittata over in one piece! The swiss chard was great in this recipe.
