On busy week nights, a frittata is your saving grace. Not only is it the ultimate fridge-cleaner recipe (and boy, do we love those), it's filling, relatively healthy, and feeds a crowd, too. This one uses some super-basic ingredients, but you can throw in tomatoes and basil, leeks and Cheddar, goat cheese and spinach-the possibilities are endless. So go ahead, take a deep dive into your fridge. You'll probably pull out the fixin's for dinner.
