Italians... the epicurean gods and goddesses... first off, you can pronounce their words like an authentic Italian,,, say them the way you see them... I think the simple philosophy is very much well adapted with the way they create food.
It doesn't have to be complex to taste great, I love it!
Frittata can be your breakfast, your in between snacks or even in a party platter as one of the tapas. What's not to love!?
Tip 1: if you are going to substitute dried leaves instead of fresh oregano or basil, keep in mind that dried ones are twice stronger in flavour so you'll cut the amount to half.
