Sure bread, akara or fried plantain comes to mind when you think of breakfast. But, have you ever tried making a frittata? Now buckle up and sit tight because this is the kind of breakfast you’d want to cool down to eat with hot or chilled beverage.
Frittata which translates to “fried” is an egg based dish of Italian origin, enriched with other ingredients such as meat, sausages, vegetables, cheese or even pasta. It’s soft, chewy, slightly sweet and o-so-nice! To make this, i’d suggest you use a non-stick pan preferably. This is to enable the frittata come out easily and whole once ready. It can be served alongside sausages, salad or with cereals like Pap, Oats, Tapioca, Acha e.t.c. Want to try potato frittata (Potato Fiesta)? Click here.

Wow! I love this. Can I what if I don't have mince beef?
This looks yummy.. Definitely trying it this weekend
Dobby pls explaain step three again, will i add water to the meat for it to cook for 10 mins
No you don't need to add water to the meat. The ground meat would release moisture which is more than enough to cook it.
Thanks for the explanation, will try out this week
It sure is. Do keep us posted k

I’m trying this recipe this weekend. Thanks Dobby
Do keep us posted k.
The last time I did this, I tried flipping the frittata over, so the other side would get cooked too. I put a flat plate over the pan and turned it buuuuuut it became a mess. So, I just made it scrambled.
Ill try not to flip it next time. Is the top definitely going to get cooked this way ? And my pan isn’t non stick
Sure it will. A non-stick pan would also have prevented the mishap you experienced the first time.
I did try it like I said I would. turned out Okay Thank you!
