Frittata

Egg-cellent Breakfast: Spinach, Tomato & Feta Frittata

The frittata is an Italian dish that dates back to the Renaissance period. It was a way to use up leftover vegetables and eggs, and it became a staple in Italian cuisine. The term "frittata" comes from the Italian word "friggere," which means "to fry." The dish has evolved over time, with various regional variations and ingredients, but the basic concept of a frittata remains the same: a savory egg dish cooked slowly in a skillet and finished under the broiler.
