ARTICHOKE SPINACH FRITTATA
This is a very good lowfat version of a crustless quiche that I adapted from several recipes. Fat can be further reduced by using canned artichoke hearts in water.

ARTICHOKE FRITTATA
This rich, delicious, and easy-to-make appetizer can be served warm or cool. I sometimes use grated low-fat cheese and find that it is just as tasty and less greasy. Dried parsley works, too.
