Feeding the Funky Bunch: Spinach & Sun-dried Tomato Frittatas

Posted on by

These simple yet scrumptious frittatas are the answer to your prayers. Yummy, nutritious and easy to make, they are fantastic for a snack, lunch box addition or party food. They also freeze fabulously. Just pop in a zip lock bag, freeze and pull out as needed. You can defrost and eat them cold or warm up under the grill. I often put them in the kids lunch boxes frozen, knowing they’ll be defrosted by lunch time.
