Spicy Chorizo and Tomato Frittata
“Preparing this delicious frittata during the holidays has become a Crawford Family tradition. It’s a perfect dish for brunch, lunch, dinner or even a late night treat on cold snowy nights. Frittata can easily be made ahead of time, saving yourself from spending the whole night in the kitchen. It also makes for a great potluck dinner recipe since it feeds a crowd and is easily transportable.” – Chef Lynn Crawford.
