Frittata with potatoes, sweet peppers, herbs, and cheese is a dish that comes from Italian cuisine but is loved worldwide. This airy, aromatic casserole resembles an omelet but gains a rich flavor and texture from the addition of potatoes and vegetables. Bacon adds a savory note to the dish while cheeses provide softness and tenderness. Sweet peppers add freshness, herbs bring sophistication, and garlic and onion deepen the aroma. Frittata is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It pairs wonderfully with fresh bread and a light salad and makes an excellent snack when cold. It's easy to prepare yet looks impressive—an ideal choice for a cozy home gathering!
