For anyone who hasn't tried a frittata - it's basically just a pastry-less quiche -they are super easy to make, and a great healthy tasty treat either as a snack for little ones, or as part of their main meal.
This recipe makes enough for 8 medium slices and will last for 2-3 days in the fridge.
You could also bake frittatas in individual muffin cases for a quick healthy breakfast, or a school lunch box filler.
This was a great recipe for Remy , age 2, to help out with.
Given how easily distracted she gets in most situations, she really impressed me with her attention to direction and focus on doing things right (she even insisted that she wash her hands both before & after cooking- that's my girl! ).
And when it was all dished up and on the table - both Remy and her big sister ate every last bite, and asked for more!
