Reviews
I did not have any meat and still wanted to prepare a "weekday" dinner, so I thought: why not a frittata? Usually, I like to make fritattas with zucchinis and potatoes , but since I did not have zucchinis, I looked up on the website and found this recipe. I followed the recipe, except that I put some already cooked and cut-up potatoes and did not add tomatoes. The result was delicious: my picky son ate it and my other son took a second portion. I agree with another reviewer who said that the Dijon mustard gives it flavor. I will definitely make this recipe again.
I have made this dish several times with excellent reviews every time. Not only is this fritatta savory, it is versatile. I have substituted asparagus for the brocolli with equally tasty results. I just made this with brocolli and leftover Christmas ham. This time, I put thinly sliced velveeta on the top during the last 5 minutes of baking. I did not have tomatoes, so we put a dollop of salsa and sour cream on top after it was served. We all agreed that was a great idea and will use salsa next time in place of diced tomatoes.
We really liked this. It is indeed the dijon mustard that gives it flavor. Would've been good with some potatoes in there too.
I have been making this delicious frittata as a special brunch menu item for years. I always receive rave reviews and requests for the recipe. Even my children enjoy this dish!
