re the 5-minute frittata. Is it half a cup of cheese or 1 and a half cups? thanks
Selina – it is one and a half cups. Will have to try this recipe, sounds yummy.
I hate to be picky, but this is at least a 10-15 minute frittata, once you take into account the grilling times. Title is misleading, but I guess it rolls off the tongue better.
