A Frittata is an Italian Omelette. It's open faced rather than folded. You can put pretty much anything in a Fritata. Italians use left over Spaghetti of all things. This is just one recipe and one of my favorites. This recipe makes 8 servings. Adjust to the number of people you are going to serve.
