This frittata is one of my favorites and is so simple made up only of a few ingredients..not the least important is the fresh mint to turn a few ordinary eggs into something extraordinary. Here it it is our lunch from the country house, serve with a chilled white wine..like Fallenghina, Est!Est!Est!, Trebbiano, Pecorino

  1. Interesting! So just ricotta and mint in this frittata OK – if you say so! I’m going on trust for this one 🙂 I’ll try to make next week for my cena Tuesday.
