I think frittata is such an easy and tasty meal, because you can totally just throw in your favourite ingredients and it can just be dependent on what is in the fridge on the day. This time around I got slightly carried away and pre roasted some vegies and you then mix these all together with some other ingredients and pop in the oven and you are in business!
If you prefer you could line your baking dish with puff pastry, because pastry is pretty lovely, but I went without this time, but it is an option.

I’m also a big fan of the humble frittata. It’s a great way to use up spare vegies, great for kids and you can even pack it for a picnic.
