This dish! It is soo good. I rarely make it as I will undoubtedly eat it all in a couple of days, so when there is a crowd anticipated, I trot it out.

This is a great recipe to make ahead for a lazy Sunday brunch with friends, and will keep for up to 3–4 days in the fridge. It is delicious hot or cold, and the tomato sauce is fantastic by itself. Simply reheat the frittata … and you are going to want more of that sauce. Now, where did I put those dried chillies?

The sauce is also fantastic as a pantry item for anything you think needs a kick. So much so that we wrote a tweaked version of it HERE. Go ahead, enjoy. (Margaritas all round I say!)
