Spinach Red Pepper Frittata. Pretty. Easy. Super delicious.
Spinach Red Pepper Frittata with Smoked Salmon and Olives, Delicioso!
Don here. A Spinach Red Pepper Frittata with Smoked Salmon and Olives is the perfect Saturday breakfast. I enjoy making a beautiful breakfast for Lois and myself when I have the time to do it. Frittatas look much harder to make than they actually are. Trust me. You can do this. And you're gonna love it.
Most workdays I have my eyes propped open with toothpicks and my brain is still sleeping when I have to trudge off to work. So I eat something simple like a bowl of Homemade Granola or some Fried Eggs.
>Don't get me wrong. I love my work. I have just never been an early morning person. I am looking forward to retirement when I can sleep until I wake up. Eat whatever I want for breakfast. And read the paper all the way through before I get on with my day. It's not much longer now, I plan to work a little less than 18 months more. Then I'll have Spinach Red Pepper Frittata with Smoked Salmon and Olives every day for breakfast. (Just kidding.)
We use a cast iron skillet to make frittatas. The 10 inch is perfect for two people. Do you have one of these?
