Weekend brunch time is getting closer alright and you want a warm colourful dish to be put on your table.
Your goal is to hit two birds in one shot. to prepare a delicious dish for your guests and also decorate the table with beautiful colours.
I fried the vegetables beforehand in a separate frying pan and then put them all together in this useful Vita hotplate, both by Infinity chefs. The hotplate normally is used for pizza but I thought to try this frittata and use just anything possible that I find in my fridge.
It has the possibility to use on all kinds stoves and in the oven.
So here is the recipe, step by step.
