There's no recipe like frittata that can seamlessly be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Let me Level with you a bit, I love frittata but most of the time it's served to me, I wish I had a little sauce for it. In this recipe, a quick and easy cherry tomato sauce gets roasted alongside so the frittata slices can literally bathe in the sweet and savoury homemade condiment.
This Frittata gets its flavour inspiration from creamy potato leek soup, a personal fave of mine. It's loaded with spring onions, buttery leeks, creamy potatoes and ooey gooey Emmental cheese. This frittata is a kiss of spring. It's an elegant brunch. It's a casual dinner. —Michelle Rabin
