Looking for an easy one-pot meal? The frittata can be more than just breakfast, including brunch and lunch. Fill it with fresh veggies and good eggs like my recipe below and you'll have a powerful one-pan, moveable feast. A perfect take along for a picnic or al fresco meal. 

A frittata is also the perfect way to repurpose leftovers like roasted potatoes; add fresh herbs for added flavor like spring chives or thyme.
