Lazy weekend breakfast or brunch? Satisfy your late morning start with this easy, elaborate and exceptionally exquisite frittata. Hunky hubby asked me to make him something to go with grits. Hunting through the fridge I found all the treasures needed to whip together this beautiful frittata. It's so easy! Put it together, throw it in the oven, clean up the kitchen, get out of your P.J.s, and jump into the shower. By the time you're dressed the frittata is ready and all you need to do is make the grits and toast. Wha-la!!! Simple as that, you are a hero.
