Author Notes
Fritattas are my favorite thing to make. So versatile! You can add just about anything to some beaten eggs with cheese, bake it, and call it breakfast, lunch or dinner!!! This one evolved out of what I had in the fridge. The optional cilantro sour cream adds a rich, creamy bonus. Enjoy! —Nancy Nicole
