the answer to how many eggs that egg cracking action shot took.. FOUR! luckily this recipe calls for five eggs, so i had several attempts to get the perfect shot. i used to be obsessed with making frittatas of all sorts. even back when i didn't really like eggs, frittatas were the one thing i liked. so many flavour possibilities & all that delicious cheese! for this particular version i wanted to use woodsy flavours, so i went with rosemary & wild mushrooms. i know both these flavours can be quite a love or hate situation, or at least they are in my family. feel free to use this recipe as the base for all your frittata making needs! just substitute the herbs, vegetables & cheeses for which ever flavour combinations are your favourite. if you are lucky enough to have leftovers, please try a frittata sandwich. i promise it is sooo good. fri-ta-ta for now! #corny
