ricottacheesefrittata3
After taking a few months off over winter, my hens have started laying again. We presently have nine hens, and although I gift eggs to family and friends, they do tend to accumulate in my refrigerator. I use a lot of eggs when I bake, but when we end up with too many eggs, I make a frittata of some variety for lunch. I love to use up leftover vegetables in my frittatas, but today I decided to keep things simple and used ricotta cheese and fresh chopped herbs.

I have tried every method possible to make a frittata, but the easiest way has to be baking the frittata in a frying pan. It takes about thirty minutes to cook fully, and if you want to brown the top a bit, simply turn on the broiler for a few minutes. This frittata is great served for lunch, or a light dinner served with a salad, and I always enjoy a slice for breakfast the following day.
