Greek Frittata {Recipe}

For someone who wasn’t the biggest egg lover, I’ve certainly been making a lot of egg recipes lately. For some reason, since the birth or my girls 16 months ago, I have a newfound liking of eggs – but only in certain forms. One of said forms is the frittata. I have been experimenting with various types of frittatas, including a spinach-pepper frittata, leek and tomato frittata, and Mexican frittata. The possibilities are endless! My latest version is a Greek Frittata. I don’t actually think that egg dishes are a big thing in Greece, but the ingredients I used reminded me of a Greek salad, which is what I served it with.
