Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
This dish is best when cooked in an iron skillet. If you don’t have one, use a pyrex deep pie dish or an 8 inch square pyrex dish.
If using an iron skillet, pour 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of butter into the skillet and place in the oven that is preheating while you prepare the ingredients. If using a pyrex dish-don’t preheat, just spray with PAM.
The frittata is ideal for leftover meats from the week. Left over vegetables (raw or cooked are great to use). It is a delicious one dish meal that just needs to be served with fresh fruit on the side. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
