\nAn Italian Frittata is one of the most versatile\u00a0 dishes that I can think of. And in the summertime, it can be ohh so refreshing with a touch of fresh mint. For a quick casual lunch for a picnic or on the beach..but a frittata is not just an omelet! It can be lunch or dinner with a glass of chilled, light dry white wine, or \u00a0cut into smaller wedges or squares for an appetizer or snack. But I love being able to make the night before and quickly wrap this up in the morning before heading to the beach here in Italy..the protein gives you a lot of energy and the fresh mint\u2026it is a way to chill down on a sunny day at the beach.
\nOnce cooked cool, and wrap cut slices in parchment paper to take with you and enjoy. A mint frittata is proof of the beauty and art of simplicity..no more than 4 ingredients to make this luscious, healthy meal..
