30 minutes
Aromatic cold frittata is an elegant dish of Italian cuisine that draws from the traditions of simple yet refined rustic recipes. Its creation was inspired by regional variations of frittata, historically made from leftover vegetables and eggs, turning humble ingredients into a gastronomic delight. The flavor combines the softness of potatoes, the sweet spice of peppers, and the rich aroma of sage and garlic, enriched by the tenderness of eggs and freshness of parsley. An important feature is its serving cold, making frittata ideal for picnics, light lunches, or antipasti at an Italian feast.
