    Shake up breakfast with this flavor-packed frittata!

    If you’re looking for an all-in-one breakfast that’s reasonably quick to make and can feed several people, a frittata is the answer!
    I love making quiches, but sometimes I don’t want the oven, oven toaster oven going. This is the perfect alternative.

    This dish is hearty, healthy, and packed with flavor. It’s a great way to use tomatillos, green chilis, extra eggs, and potatoes!

    Potatoes: You can use any kind of potato but I like red potatoes for this because they cook a bit faster.

    Tomatillo: Make sure they’re slightly soft for more flavor.

    Green Chilis: I often use Anaheim chilis because they’re the most abundant at stores and farmer’s markets where I live. You can really use any chili pepper you like and use milk, medium, hot to your taste!
