Fresh Basil and Tomatoe Fritta
Just as written, this dish is yummy! My store didn't have 8oz. shredded jack so I used sandwich sliced. Turned out wonderful. Served the frittata with buttered sour dough bread and green salad. Yummy! I may try onions and bacon next time. A staple recipe for sure! Thank you!
Can shredded cheese be used
Can shredded cheese be used instead of grated?
shredded or grated cheese
Hi, Mark. Freshly grated cheese will almost always yield better results, but you can certainly use the shredded stuff.
