That was really good! First bite tasted like I was in a local French cafe. I used aged Parmesan and that had huge flavor. Also, I used fresh cauliflower and just added water to the skillet and put the lid on to cook it. I'll definitely be making this again. Can't wait to have leftovers for breakfast.
0 HelpfulFrittata was great, very easy and tasty. Used fresh cauliflower right into the pan after the leeks and onions and it was perfect. The salad dressing recipe is overly complex for this dish - would suggest a simple oil, vinegar, mustard combo to cut down on the chopping.
0 Helpful3 stars with the addition of a jalepeno pepper and fresh pico de gallo to eat with it. The kids and my husband enjoyed this recipe.
0 HelpfulBland frittata, but sriracha added some kick. Was pretty good, but a basic frittata recipe.
