This traditional Italian frittata is a perfect hassle-free healthy lunch or dinner served with a crunchy side salad. All you need is a few ingredients and one pan.
A cheese and onion frittata is a cross between a quiche and a fancy omelette. This one is simple to make and tasty at anytime of the day. If you're feeling adventurous you can add in courgette, ham, mushrooms or any leftovers you may have in the fridge. You can really get creative. It doesn't take long to make so you'll soon have a meal on the dinner table that tastes delicious. This frittata recipe feeds a family of four and also reheats perfectly so you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to microwave the next day.
