A frittata is said to be an Italian-style omelet with all the ingredients mixed together rather than folded inside. It is one of my favorite breakfast foods to make ever since I made this recipe for the first time at Christmas. It won't be the last time I make this recipe and it is by far the best one I've found so far. I didn't have any feta cheese on hand so I used swiss this time. It was still delicious, but I recommend sticking with feta cheese if you can. The fresh basil and feta combination give it such an amazing, savory flavor. If you ever need something to make for brunch with friends or just a good Saturday morning breakfast at home....this is it! :)
