Awesome Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my family and they LOVED IT The flavors are AWESOME and this is very easy to make. The one thing I will... change next time is the salt. Came out very salty because of the pancetta & 1TBS sea salt maybe 1 tsp instead. However we love salt so it was still great. Very light dish and looks great plated up. We have made every dish on this episode and they are all excellent. Thanks Big Daddy we love your show.Read more

Oh My Goodness!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

How about I was singing as we ate this!!! Thanks so much for adding a new breakfast item to our menu! I forgot to pick... up mint at the market, and I used monterray jack instead of swiss. In spite of these small deviations, this frittata was OFF THE CHAN!! No other way to describe it. All the flavors were wonderful, and my husband and I truly enjoyed it! We're looking forward to our leftovers tomorrow! Thanks Big Daddy :-)Read more

My 11yr old son "Tow it up"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow. I've grilled zuccini before and the kids run for the hills. This time my 11yr old son did half the work and when we... were done he demolished this dish. Thanks Big Daddy, now I know how to sneak veggies into their belly. I tell ya fresh herbs rule and the kitchen smells great while cooking. Family members catch a waft and wonder in asking whatcha cooking that smells good, let me know when its done. Thanks, Big Daddy in training...LOLRead more

Great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really loved this dish. I was a little skeptical because I don't like egg whites but this dish was so flavorful. I used... guyere and added salt and pepper to the egg whites. I am happy that I tried this recipe because I enjoyed it and it is also light.Read more
