I have made many versions of this Western Frittata since getting the book Everyday Dorie— most of them were not even very Western. I also have many photos of the many versions and I don’t even exactly remember what I put in them. I think this particular one is probably more of an Italian Frittata…looks like I used sun-dried tomatoes, red peppers and pesto. I can’t be sure because there are so many things you can do with a frittata. It’s a lot like the Ginger Fried Rice we made, in that it’s a fridge-raiding, use what you have, get rid of bits and bobs kinda thing. It’s perfect for what’s going down right now, and I mix it up on the regular now that I’m making breakfast for two every.single.morning.

I have a small cast iron pan, so I do roughly a half-recipe of Dorie’s frittata, except instead of four eggs I only use three because I prefer them a little thinner and they cook a little quicker.

For the recipe, see Everyday Dorie by Dorie Greenspan, and head over to Cook the Book Fridays to what everyone made this week.

I don’t make breakfast every.single.morning but oh all those dishes. With 3 of us home for 3 meals a day I feel I do dishes all day long. I hope we can slowly come out of our homes soon. I haven’t made a frittata in a long time so will have to try this one out.

A frittata is a perfect meal for me and way to use up leftovers which I hate to waste. I even like the frittata leftovers for lunch the next day. I don’t often think of needing a recipe for it because it’s always pot luck. Good idea and very pretty presentation.

I make a combination of this from time to time, not knowing the recipe in the book. The red is the real attention seeker.
