Tips
Kids Tip: Kids can crack the eggs. Teach them to crack the eggs into a separate bowl first just in case any bits of shell have to removed and then transfer the eggs to the bowl for whisking.
Cooking Tips: For dinner on the go, cut frittata into strips, place on a whole wheat tortilla and top with bagged torn romaine lettuce. Pack salsa or ketchup in a container for dipping
For the Adventurous: Use Canadian Monterey Jack with Hot Peppers or Sharp Canadian Cheddar.
