A frittata is a nice size egg dish that can be used as a breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or as a side dish. One great thing about frittatas is that you throw all the ingredients together in a baking dish, put it in the oven, and walk away while it cooks. No standing over the stovetop watching and stirring.

A second great thing about frittatas is that you can personalize them with just about any ingredient you like either baked into the frittata or added to the top after it’s cooked. There can be almost unlimited frittata recipes.

A third great thing, not that you need another reason, but frittatas are usually very budget-friendly.
