A frittata is basically an open-faced omelet. This is a great dish to make if you are having a hard time getting your breakfast in before work or taking the kids to school because you can make it ahead of time and heat up each day. You can even have it for lunch with a salad. This recipe is using ground beef but you can use bison, pork or even ground turkey or sausage. In addition, this recipe is using swiss chard but you can substitute spinach or any vegetables. You can also omit the meat and just have an egg and vegetable frittata.
