Make the Frittata of Your Dreams
In honor of April’s Recipe of the Month, we gathered a list of frittata ingredients to help you build your own. This is a very forgiving dish, so don’t be afraid to experiment with quantities and combinations that fit your taste. Whether you’re hitting the farmers’ market for summer produce or need a use-it-up recipe to clear out your fridge, a frittata will celebrate whichever ingredients you bring to the table.
