I'm sure it would've been good...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

OK, so I'm a college student, and decided to cut some corners... so instead of using ham, I used Canadian bacon, because it... was half as much in cost (and I don't just have leftover ham sitting around at my convenience). To my dismay...I overlooked the fact that this substitute is way saltier than regular bacon. Anyways, my Frittata turned out REALLY salty. But I'm sure it would be really good if I didn't cut that corner...Read more

I used a smaller pan (8"), olive oil instead of butter,spinach, summer squash and cherry tomatoes from our garden, topped... with feta cheese. It was beautiful and yummy.Read more

Good Technique!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made them for the first time and they came out great. This is a keeper. I used different veggies - onions, zuchini,... tomatoes and basil. I will be trying out other veggies next time. Read more

good idea, too big a pan!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made this is a 12" pan, as instructed, and it came out much too thin and overdone, even though I cooked it for shorter time... periods both on the stovetop and in the oven. I think it might be good if made in a 10" pan - or increase the recipe for the 12" pan.Read more

Great Eats!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just like most of the others, I changed the vegies to what I had on hand and this is a great, basic recipe. Dinner was on the... table in 15 minutes. My 5 year old loved it!Read more
