The Ultimate Breakfast Frittata
"This looks so nice when it's done, with the cheese bubbling on top. And it tastes as good as it looks! You could also use left over cooked potatoes, sliced, instead of cooking them especially for this dish."

The fritata says for 3 or 4 people......How big pan? Or was recipe doubled for more?

I BAKED THIS: This was delicious; I made it for our 16 person brunch. I did make some changes and here they are: I roasted the potatoes using the recipe on Lipton Onion Soup Mix Box. Used spring onions instead of regular onions. Added Bell Peppers too. BAKED in oven at 400 Degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. Then did the cheese on top under the broiler. It was so good. The dill really pulled this dish together. What a keeper! -
I partially cooked the potatoes in the micro then sauteed the onion and peppers(in place of mushrooms), cooked potatoes 3 min. and put into a baking dish. Topped with the egg mixture, bacon, green onion and 350 deg. for 23 min. Added the cheese and let it sit in oven (oven off) for 2 min. Turned out great.

I followed Bobbie's suggestion and made this using whatever I had on hand and it was delish! I also didn't have access to grill to get the top, so I flipped it into a buttered skillet instead to brown the top. Made it not quite as pretty, but very yummy :) I shared a picture if you want to see it. -
We loved this dish. After cooking it on the stove top, I baked it in the oven @400 for 10 min and it turned out great. I wasn't sure what "cook under a grill" meant. I assumed it meant to broil it, but I wasn't sure. :) -
Yum! This was really good! I switched it up a bit by leaving out the mushrooms and doubling the bacon (but using turkey bacon) and addding an egg but it came out perfect. Thanks for the wonderful recipe Sackville!!!

I'd cook the bacon for a few minutes before adding in the onion and mushrooms, which cook much faster.

I made this with green, red, and yellow peppers instead of the mushrooms (DH doesn't like them). This was WONDERFUL! I'm not a big dill fan, but surprisingly it didn't taste like dill, just delicious! I think this (made with the peppers) would make amazing breakfast burritos! DH asked for more, for the next day's breakfast (he was too full to want seconds for breakfast). Thank you for a great recipe! Definitely adding to my favorites. -
This was great. I didn't follow the recpe exactly -- it's one of those that you can alter to suit your tastes and to what you have on hand. I added some asparagus -- plus my potatoes were pretty large so I increased the eggs to 7. Instead of dill, I used a little bit of Italian Seasoning. This is a great recipe and one that can be adapted to whatever you might have on hand. Thank you for sharing.

Made this for 3 very hungry teens this morning before school. Oh my, they loved it!! Next time will double the recipe. I was lazy and used Tater Tots instead of potatoes. When most of the egg had cooked, I put the pan under the broiler to finish the top and then added the cheese. Let the cheese melt under the broiler and served. It was so very easy and such a hit. Thanks for a great recipe! Will be making this one often I am sure.

This was my first attempt at making a frittata and it was so good. Quick, easy and a great way to use up your leftovers. I used pancetta instead of bacon, green onions, red peppers, mushrooms and mixed that with some leftover potatoes and brocolli. We'll definitely be making this one again. Thanks

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
