Christmas With Mary Engelbreit






Recipe Introduction


You can take all the credit for this frittata - so naturally festive with red and green peppers - anytime during the holiday. Enjoy it before heading off to bed on Christmas Eve, or as a delicious and healthful snack between all the rich foods of the two days. Frittata is so versatile; once it's cooled, cut it into thin slices and make sandwiches on French baguette, or cut it into strips and toss them into some fried rice.





List of Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
