Fretta

Let’s get something straight right off the bat: This recipe is neither a true frittata, nor an omelet—and it’s more than merely scrambled eggs. It’s a fretta, the monster breakfast (or wholly pleasing dinner) served in greasy-spoon diners all over central New York. It’s loosely based on an Italian frittata and usually incorporates pizza toppings: pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. It’s kind of like junk food made acceptable with the addition of protein-packed eggs.
