Lately, I have been trying to change up my morning meal routine a little. I usually have oatmeal with some fruits but I got tired it. So, I remembered an egg recipe that I had in Italy that looks like an omelette but stuffed with vegetables, meats, cheese. This particular dish is called a frittata. Frittata means “fried” in italian.
The distinction that you have from a regular omelette is that it starts on the stove and finishes in the oven. You can use any vegetables from your fridge in it with some meat if you want. I didn’t want my egg to be that heavy so I just used the vegetables and cheese. It’s a great breakfast full of proteins that help me start my day lately. This dish is full of colors which might bring a big smile on your kids, especially if they had a hard time waking up that morning 🙂
