Late Summer Frittata

Recipe Description

This easy recipe for Late Summer Frittata with tomatoes and fresh herbs comes in handy whenever I need to feed a crowd. With fresh eggs, ripe summer tomatoes, caramelized shallots, spinach and parsley, this dish is a real morning treat. It’s also incredibly versatile. Experiment by adding deli turkey, crispy bacon, cooked sausage, cheese, or bulk this frittata up with your protein of choice.

As for the seasoning, I keep it simple with just salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Feel free to experiment with adding a bit of smoked paprika or garlic powder. A touch of parsley adds a fresh note and enhances the aroma of the dish. You could use other fresh soft herbs that you have on hand, like dill or basil.   

To make the Late Summer Frittata, you will need the following ingredients:
