KITCHEN MISADVENTURE SERIES 18: BREAKFAST FRITATAS





For quite some time, I have been seeing recipes of omelets, tortas, and frittatas (from different foodsites I normally browse)…. I really do not know the difference of one from the other but I guess they may be the same since they have more or less the same ingredients although the manner of cooking varies – some are cooked in a non-stick pan, others baked like a pizza. And since, I have been getting a bit bored cooking ham and eggs separately, or bacon and eggs, or tuna and eggs – making an omelet with both or all of the ingredients present is truly a time-saver!

So today, I tried doing my own breakfast frittata/omelet with ham, potatoes, eggs and lotsa lotsa cheese! (my daughter’s favorite ingredient!) And thankfully she enjoyed it! I have also tried using other ingredients like ground pork with potatoes and tuna with carrots…and the verdict is still the same – the kids loved it! And it’s so easy and less time-consuming to prepare pa! My daughter likes to call it a pizza…and I guess in a way it could be --- I guess I’ll just try to do more variations for this truly very basic frittata/omelet/torta recipe.
