This was really lovely, and a perfect light dinner for DS and I on a warm evening. I used milk instead of half and half, and my gorgonzola looked a bit suspect so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. Yum! Served with a nice salad and crusty bread this really hit the spot. Next time I will cut the apples a bit smaller (I didn't peel them) as the frittata fell apart a bit around my big chunks of apple. Thanks for posting! Made for 123 Hits tag. -
My gorgonzola had taken a turn for the worse so I substituted 5 yer aged cheddar which has a strong flavor as well. It was delicious. Only thing I did differently in cooking was to put the oven on at 350 and bake it as I do all my frittatas rather than cover on top then under the broiler. they puff up then :) -
This is such a good frittata! I made 1/2 the recipe for my lunch and it was the perfect amount. I recently discovered my love of gorgonzola cheese and this brings out the flavor! I left out the celery because I didn't have any but otherwise made as is. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
