Artichoke and Lemon Frittata

This has bounced straight into my top three favourite frittata flavours. It is fresh, zesty and the taste of summer all bound together in a frittata base! The combination of lemon and artichoke as left me wanting more so shall be exploring this combination in other forms.

You could use Parmesan cheese too instead of the Pecorino Romano. I used artichokes from a can for this, but you could use ones from the deli counter too. Or fresh if you want to cook, peel and chop them…if you have that time….so, from a can it is then!
