This looks so good! Even with egg prices being up, it would still be reasonable in cost.

This looks yummy. I like to eat eggs, but right now with the price I've had to cut back a bit. Oh well, it makes them more special, right? Hope your week is going well.

Thank you Jan

Looks nice Jan.

Iris Flavia said...

Yum. A bit like the low-carb Pizza muffins. Which, maybe you can explain... are great fresh or from the fridge, but once frozen... they lose a lot of flavor and smell kinda funny- because of the egg-base?

Rustic Pumpkin said...

do you know how long this would keep for in the fridge? as with so many recipes the number of servings is too high for one, and you scale down it's just an omelette. Debbie

Giorgio said...

Hello Debbie, many thanks for your comment and question.
Frittata can keep well in the refrigerator for three to four days, please read more about this here.

Hello Iris
Frittata or muffins can be frozen, I find it best to slice the frittata and wrap individually in foil, which of course you can do with the muffins quite easily, then place them in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or oven.
It is quite possible that freezing them will slightly alter the taste/texture but not overly so ... hope this helps.

Do please also read the link I gave to Debbie/Rustic Pumpkin above, as many of the points you raised are answered in the link.

As you say, right for every meal.

Iris Flavia said...

Actually I do as you describe... maybe, though, it was more than three months. Time so flies... I need proper labeling!

The Happy Whisk said...

I love the idea of a pizza one!

It does look nice but it is saying acid reflux to me.

Conniecrafter said...

I will have to share this with hubby he may like that for a quick breakfast left over

Norma2 said...

Jan, a great idea is to replace the carbohydrates of the dough with eggs (similar to an frittata)

Back2OurSmallCorner said...

Thank you for this recipe, Jan. Apart from the olives I could easily eat this at any time of the day.
