Makes a lovely brunch or treat for Mom
One bowl, less mess
No frying pan required
I used to think frittatas would take too long to make.
Most recipes call for a fry pan to be used to first saute vegetables, then later to combine them with the egg mixture (in another fry pan) before it ends up being baked (in yet another pan) in the oven. And lastly, you are required to take it out of the oven, add cheese, and then broil it.
Blah.
That's too much work and too many pans to clean (for me). But then again, I'm a "staple your hem" kinda chick. Plus I don't want to make my man-servant work that hard.
Back in February, I wrote about Mardi Gras and included a gluten-free baked pancake recipe. I was surprised that many readers had never heard of a baked pancake before. What I love about that recipe is that there's very little effort required.
And so, I began to search for a one bowl, one pan frittata recipe. Finally I found it in a short 3 minute video (shown next) by Matt Johnson with Ontario Living in series called Recipe of the Month. Oh, and Matt looks like he'd definitely make an excellent man-servant.

How to taste test sea salt (or any salt)
Jenny's Twisted Tip - Sea Salt (only 33 seconds):
Sure, I've been served breakfast in bed
So I'll let you in on a few tips guys
You know those serving trays that come with the short legs that sit atop the mattress? Forget them, they suck.
Here's why:
1) The second she puts her palms on the bed to straighten herself up, the table gets unbalanced (and the coffee and juice spill).
2) As soon as your dog, cat, or child leans (or jumps) on the bed - same deal. The drinks spill or worse, food goes flying.
3) Nothing ruins breakfast in bed for a woman more than having to wash and clean bedding the same day. (And there's a good chance that she's going to be the one cleaning the mess).
4) As you can well imagine, the gent shown in the next video would've had his junk scalded had there been hot coffee on that serving tray.
5) If you are sans kids, you might have been hoping for a little after-breakfast romance (so don't chance it with some crappy serving tray).
Notice how at the 1:52 point, hot coffee
or juice would've spilled right on this guy's lap:

Lastly, get a thermal coffee carafe
If you're going to go to all that trouble and effort to make her breakfast in bed, the last thing you want to do is return to the kitchen to get more coffee.
A few years ago, I attended a conference out of town and was served a lovely breakfast with plenty of coffee sitting in a carafe on my tray. Oh, I was so impressed by that carafe full of coffee that I forget what my breakfast was now.
I mean, who has only one 6 oz. cup of coffee in the morning?
The brand name of the carafe began with a "Z" (that much I remembered) and fortunately I found the exact same one on Amazon (shown next).
