This was a beautiful, perfectly cooked frittata, with minimal effort. I made the recipe exactly as written, seasoning as instructed and the end result is delicious. It is lemony and creamy with a nice contrast from the toasted thyme, lemon breadcrumbs and it’s just salty enough. This might be the easiest frittata I’ve ever made.

Good. Very simple and fast dinner. Good for kid’s lunch or breakfast they next day.

I like the lemon eggs from The Lemon Cookbook far more... they have the lemony cheesiness, but quite a bit more flavor.

Very solid base. It feels like you keep salting and salting. Keep salting. The squeeze of lemon at the end was critical. Came out of my cast iron pan beautifully.

I ended up not having the ricotta I thought I had on hand, so I substituted a goat cheese and a little sour cream - so delicious and tender. And the breadcrumbs really do add a great contrast and flavor punch.

This was so good! I could almost have eaten the whole thing by myself. The technique of cooking the frittata covered over low heat produces a wonderfully tender final result. Don't skip the breadcrumbs! They add some nice texture and punch of flavor.
