A frittata is nothing more than an open-faced omelette, and is in fact, much easier to make. It’s also a natural repository for leftovers from the fridge – particularly any kind of pasta. This one uses Edamame, olives and two kinds of cheese. Any combination of cheese will work, preferably a sharp one and one that melts well.

½ cup chopped ham
