Perfect for brunches, a frittata is an Italian-inspired egg-based dish similar to an omelet or crustless quiche. While a frittata can be enhanced with any combination of meats, cheeses and veggies, the spring season offers an assortment of fresh produce that gives this dish undeniably delicious color and flavor.
Loaded with pancetta, spring onions, wild mushrooms, spinach, potatoes and asparagus, this dish looks and tastes complex and sophisticated, but could not be easier to make.
