Maggi Frittata

Frittatas are so simple to make yet so delicious to eat. Some also call a frittata a crustless quiche. I personally love the blend of egg baked with yummy vegetables. This Maggi Frittata along with these Savoury Muffins will definitely keep bellies full and hands occupied at your next house party. You can serve it along with my Eggless Garlic Mayo dip or this refreshing Yoghurt Cucumber dip.

Few things to keep in mind

  • Cooking the Frittata: I have made this frittata in an iron skillet. That ways once the stove top cooking is done, it can be directly transferred into the oven for the baking process. However, this can be cooked in any regular pan and then transferred to a baking tray to bake till the top is done and cheese melts. If you do not want to bake, then you can keep it covered and cover on low heat for some time till the top is cooked.
  • Vegetables: I have added vegetables which I had available with me. You can definitely customize the recipe and add vegetables or meat of your choice.
