Instructions
Step 1
Beat eggs well in a medium bowl. Add breadcrumbs, grated cheese, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of baking soda and beat well. Stir in costmary or dandelion leaves.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until bottom is evenly golden brown and top is almost set, about 4 minutes. Carefully invert frittata onto a large plate and return to skillet, browned side up. Cook second side until pale golden, about 1 minute.
