Egg dishes can be more then just breakfast or brunch. In our family we often sere eggs for lunch or dinner, it is easy, fast and healthy. This Mexican Baked Frittata is the perfect example of a recipe that works just as well for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It is a great dish to make when you want something filling but still fresh and packed full of colorful, tasty veggies.
The crunchy and creamy salsa really brings this dish together!
You can make it spicier by adding more chili or keeping the seeds. I leave it out because the kids don’t like it too spicy but my husband does and usually tops his pice with some hot sauce for a kicked up version.
