    So delicious! I split the recipe in half and made individual portions for me and my boyfriend. It was very creamy, lots of flavor from the basil. Will definitely make again!

    I have made this countless times with a number of variations and it always gets rave reviews! The original recipe is great with mild and simple flavors. I tend to like a little more flavor so I always start by making a half package of bacon. I remove the bacon once crisp and then use the bacon fat to saute one chopped yellow onion. I then add two small diced potatoes, that I boil for 4 mins prior to adding to the onions. I like less potatoes than the recipe calls for. I follow the recipe from this point, adding the chopped bacon last.

    I've also made this recipe with breakfast sausage and with chives instead of basil. Both delicious!

    Really awesome and easy frittata recipe. It has a unique flavor and is hearty. I eyeball the potatoes and usually use less than the recipe calls for. Everytime I've made this, the whole thing gets devoured.

    I have been making this for 6 or 7 years and it's always a hit. My family loves it and when I want to try another frittata receipe, they never allow me to try a new one. One thing I use different in mine - SMOKED GRUYERE - the first time I made it that was all I could find at the deli counter and it was fantastic. I made this one time with regular gruyere and it just wasn't the same. This is my breakfast for our family when they come for the weekend but the problem is, sometimes one frittata is just not enough. Enjoy!

    Aside from realizing too large that I only had large eggs, not extra-large ones on hand, I'd say this turned out pretty well. I think I will use seasoned potatoes next time though (diced potatoes with maybe Lawry's seasoning as the base. I paired with steamed broccoli and English toasting bread. This is a BLD meal, for sure. :

    Delicious hardy egg breakfast. I decided to add ham to the frittata which made it even more scrumptious. Can't wait to eat the leftovers for dinner tonight!

    Usually I love Ina's recipes, but I have made much better frittatas. It wasn't gooey like I wanted it to be even with a substantial amount of gruyere. The ricotta just seemed to make it heavy, causing the potatoes..I used red skins..to sink to the bottom. The combination of flavors was bland and it seemed to have an excessive amount of butter.
