Whenever I make a Frittata dish for dinner, Hannah always sings "Hakuna, Frittata..." Guess who taught her that one? Yup, silly daddy.
This dish is perfect for the summer since Corn and tomatoes are plentiful right now. The smoked cheese provides a yummy flavor to the dish, but feel free to replace with your favorite cheese. Not only was this a budget meal but it was super quick to make. Have fun with this one!
