I really like this simple cheeseburger frittata recipe a lot! I used to make a version of this many years ago, but had actually forgotten about it until recently when I stumbled across and old collection of recipes that I used to make about 10 years ago. It is simple to make and has a lot of flavor and I often use it as a dinner idea, although it is wonderful for breakfast or lunch too! Pair it with a small bowl of fresh fruit and you have a nourishing, fantastic meal!
This version will feed two generously. It is really great for Sunday brunch or a nice dinner. It reheats really well too (and I know this from personal experience!) Luckily, this recipe is both gluten and grain free so it is great for those who cannot eat grains. You can easily make this dairy free by substituting a non-dairy milk like almond or coconut milk in place of the milk or heavy cream.
It is both gluten free and grain free.
This version is enough for 2 people, although I make it and then use it for a meal on two different days, which works out really well (leftovers are our friends when you’re single!)
