At first, I thought I made a quiche. Then, I did some googling and learned that a quiche typically has a crust and heavy cream (like this spinach and ricotta quiche).

A frittata has no crust and a little milk. So, frittata it is.

I love that it is so simple and you can throw just about any veggies you want into it. Or some ham, that would probably be good. Life has been super hectic lately with being back to work and learning how to be a mom. I sometimes think I’ve got the hang of it, but Baby Girl likes to switch things up on me to keep me on my toes. For that reason, I need easy meal ideas. This fits the bill.
