I like this more for brunch or even a quick dinner but it was great. Because we don't like "runny eggs" in our family, I always put this under the broiler for just a few minutes at the end. If you don't have a skillet with a handle that can go in the oven cover the handle completely with foil before setting it in the oven. Don't leave it more than 3 or 4 minutes.

Really enjoyed this dish but added a few diced mushrooms and a pinch of oregano.

Italian garden frittata is a simple, easy meal to make and one we double when we have company. It's a keeper and going in my recipe box, as my family really likes it.
