This was my first time cooking a frittata, so I didn't really know what to expect. It actually took me about twice as long to cook it because I was afraid to turn the heat up too high. I didn't want the bottom to burn. For some reason, I always thought frittatas would be hard to make. So not true! This could not have been easier to make following Barb's excellent directions. The flavor was outstanding. I used a roma tomato sliced lengthwise and just a pinch of Italian seasoning. Thanks for sharing this recipe Barb and giving me the enjoyable adventure I had in trying a new type of food!

This was so good, Barb. Has a lot of my favorite things in it. Used white cheddar cheese and just before serving, sprinkled a little grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley on top. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for posting.
