Whether you’re looking for a breakfast or brunch idea, a frittata or open faced omelet, is a great option. A frittata is an Italian dish made from primarily eggs. It’s similar to an omelet or quiche without the crust. You can add any ingredients you like including meats and veggies, but this Caprese Frittata is a favorite. It’s quick, easy and most importantly – delicious!
