WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA
A Frittata (Italian in origin) is an omelet where the filling ingredients are mixed in with the eggs before cooking. It is always served flat rather than folded. Try making one to use up leftovers. If you are a mushroom connoisseur you will enjoy this rendition accented with fresh herbs.
