Lighter, sunnier weather calls for delightful and fresh recipes that are quick but no less delicious because of how simple they are to make!

I wanted to share an essential family recipe from the Italian side of my heritage, this recipe is crucial in my repertoire, a go-to when all else fails or simply when I don’t feel like making a big effort making a meal, but I know I can always count on to impress and delight my guests, and myself!

Behold the magical Frittata , this is a modified version from my Italian Nona's original recipe (Nona is grandma in Italian), she used to have a restaurant maaany moons ago, although we lost her when I was but a ;little girl, her memory lives on through her delicious comforting food.  This recipe it is my personal take for a super quick baked version,  perfect for today's busy life, it takes only 17 minutes from start to finish! ( 14 of those minutes is baking in the oven so it gives you enough time to make a salad and set a simple but lovely table which I share some ideas with you below!)

Let’s get cooking!!

Serves 1-2 people ( you can make a larger skillet by doubling the recipe and adding another 6-8 minutes to your oven timer)
