A frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to a crustless quiche. Simply add a variety of tasty ingredients such as vegetables, meats and cheeses and you have not only a tasty meal but a healthy one also. A great thing about frittata is they only need a few ingredients and utensils to make. It is a very friendly dish to make while travelling and staying in hostels, hotel rooms with a kitchenette or while camping. This recipe of sweet potato, blue cheese and spinach combines really well together to make a tasty dish. Ingredients are also relatively cheap to purchase so this recipe won’t break the bank. Here is my easy, cheap, fast and fabulous Sweet Potato, Blue Cheese and Spinach Frittata recipe. Although the frittata is very nice on its own, you can serve it with salad.
