Frittata is a dish that originated in Italy and is said to be “the Italian version of an omelet.” Typically, a frittata is prepared in a skillet, browned on the bottom, then either finished in the oven or turned over and browned on the other side. In the United States, it’s a highly popular breakfast dish that frequently has fillings mixed in like cheese, meat and vegetables. Frittatas come in a wide variety of flavors, but the spinach frittata is by far my favorite.

My mom having purchased a new cookbook, I remember sitting down for family dinner one night and looking down at this beautiful dish. It’s colorful and delicious and has since become a staple meal in my family’s house.
