Veggie Frittata

Submitted by MsPia

"This recipe comes from an Argentinian grocery store booklet. In America this is more of a breakfast dish. In Argentina we never have it for breakfast (we are to busy eating those fabulous Argentinian pastries) it is usually lunch or a light dinner, accompanied by a salad."

We loved this frittata. DD didn't even know that it was chock full of her least favorite veggies. Also, the Jarlsberg cheese was brilliant. I'm on a diet right now so I did omit the olive oil and simply used nonstick spray in its place. The frittata was excellent none the less. Thanks for sharing. This recipe is a keeper.
