This is to die for, makes my mouth water just thinking about it. You can eat it hot or cold, for breakfast, as a side dish, even as a finger food if cut small. Try it, you will like it if you like cream cheese. It's just sinful!!!!

This sounds soooo good, but I'd have to cut it in half. I might just do that and add some asparagus tips. Thanks , PCV

Thanks for the link!

Leftover frittata can be used to make a hearty sandwich with the addition of some olives, red onion, tomato slices, etc...

Ahhhh, asparagus tips, wonderful! And made into a sandwich, I never thought of that. Rose, why cut the recipe in half? I cut it into 8 portions and freeze them in small square containers.

I was just making some masa tamales and had everything ready and then realized I forgot to buy the canned chiles. I wasn't about to drive 12 miles for a can of chiles, so I added some teaspoons of chile powder to the masa and added green olives to each tamale. They are cooking now and I hope I don't hate them and have to throw out. I'm not religious, but I feel that throwing out food is a SIN. Wish me luck! Tomorrow I will cook polenta and some biscotti. I do some marathon cooking for 2-3 days and then don't cook for 3 weeks.

I could freeze, I usually do that. Just for the first time I would want to make a small one.

You're making tamales? That's a lot of work, how well do they freeze?

I know, when I cook a lot in one day, enough of each to freeze, by the time I clean up the mess, I'm done for at least 2 weeks!

If you like cream cheese, you WILL like this frittata, but making a small one is wise the first time. I don't make the traditional tamales, where you have to scrape the green corn, I just use the Masa that you can buy like flour. I freeze everything and am not fussy, and the tamales, for me, taste just as good when frozen and reheated. BTW, I just had the tamales, and although I prefer the ones with green chiles, they weren't bad at all, I ate two and froze the other 10.

Glad your tamales came out good!
