Frittata Friday

It's Friday!! Yes everyone, I've posted two weeks in a row. I know, you're shocked. So. Am. I.

Things I'm excited about:
- my sister getting engaged last week
- going back to LA to spend some quality time with Bagel (my dog)
- my subscription for a farm co-op (they deliver fresh veggies in a crate - recipes to come!)
- my White House tour that I went on this morning

Friday Frittatas are the easiest way to pack nutrition, protein (eggs), and veggies into one dish while still sneaking in some cheese to add extra goodness.

I had actually never made a frittata and was quite pleased with how this one came out. However, it was not as fluffy as I would have hoped for. Next time I'll add heavy cream to puff it up a little bit more!

7. This next part can be tricky if you're a weakling like me. (Yes, those are man hands. J helped me out with this one!) In one swift motion cover the pan with a plate and flip over quickly onto the plate.

8. Your frittata should come out flat onto the plate and ready to be sliced and served!

I served mine with a piece of sourdough toast and a quick mixed green salad.
