Pepperoni Frittata

Pepperoni and fresh herbs are combined with eggs and cheese to make a delicious easy frittata recipe perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Eggs are like rice. Or pasta. They are cheap and go a long way if you are trying to stretch a few simple ingredients. A frittata is basically an omelet that you don’t have to flip

My omelet flipping skills are hit or miss. The Husband on the other hand, he’s a pro!

I have tried to be really kind to my herb garden this year. It’s still smarting from the neglect it received last summer after Little Tot arrived. Sofar it’s paying off. I love, love, love being able to walk out my door and have fresh rosemary, oregano, chives, sage, thyme and basil right there at my disposal.

Now if I can just figure out how to get the damn caterpillars to stop enjoying my basil leaves as much as I do! Grrr!

Normally when I make frittatas, I throw in a little bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onion (Mmmm, bacon). However, this time I wanted to take advantage of my bountiful herb garden and decided to mix it up a bit. Chopped fresh basil and oregano, diced pepperoni, and leftover sundried tomatoes that I managed not to snack on while making this. Would it work?

Oh yes. It worked. So well that I had to snatch up the last piece and take a picture before it was all gone!
