20 Frittata Recipes That Will Be the Star of Your Sunday Brunch (or Any Weekday Morning)
Quick, you’re making breakfast for a crowd—what do you prepare? You could fry two eggs per person…but that will take a while, and you’ll still have to cook up some hearty sides to make it a real meal. Same goes for waffles and pancakes. If you ask us, a frittata—an Italian egg dish that can be filled with veggies, cheese or meat, like an omelet—is the best way to satiate the morning masses. It cooks in a single skillet and usually comes together in the oven, meaning you’ll have plenty of time to set the table and work on the ever-important mimosa pitcher. Best of all, they’re so filling that all they need is a side of greens, potatoes or fruit. Read on for 20 of our favorite frittata recipes, from Gwyneth Paltrow’s five-ingredient number to one that uses last night’s leftover meatballs.
