Recipe Description

My kids recently asked for Mother’s Day brunch ideas they could cook for their mom. I wanted to give them a recipe that is delicious, but easy to bring together too: it had to be Easy Frittata. This is my easy healthy frittata recipe that even kids can perfect!

To make this easy frittata recipe, start by whisking up a mixture of eggs, cream and mozzarella cheese. For the easy frittata filling, you can use shallot, garlic, mushroom and spinach like I do or you can go wild and add ingredients like bacon, sausage, tomatoes, broccoli or bell pepper. Let your imagination run wild!

To make Easy Frittata, you will need the following ingredients:

It was good I liked it, but the garlic was hitting too much in my opinion so I cut down on it a bit.

I made a smaller one because 8 eggs is just too much for me, though I really liked it, very tasty.
