A frittata is one of my favorite things to make on a Sunday morning. Now with the farmers market open there are always fresh eggs and lots of vegelicious things to include. Part of the beauty of making a frittata is that there are usually left overs to heat up for on-the-go am meals in the beginning of the week too. With my own herb garden bursting with basil, I just had to use some in this mornings breakfast. During the summer I make great use out of my large Cusinart toaster oven for this type of task – keeping the kitchen cool!
