Google: “Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche or scrambled eggs, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, or vegetables.”

My sister gave me half of her home grown zucchini. It has been a while I have not cook zucchini. Ricotta cheese will expire in 3 days’ time, so I use it instead of milk, or thickened cream. I have added lemon thyme and Italian seasoning, got to have chili flakes. I forgot to buy pancetta, luckily, I have diced bacon, so I have added in.

Incredibly easy to make, with very simple ingredients, that you would have at home. It’s fast, dinner or breakfast most Italian mums make on a busy weekday, and for loads of good reasons!
