Christmas Morning Frittata image

This recipe from the Chatelaine website really is nice for Christmas because of the specks of red and green peppers that dot the surface after baking. I made it with Kraft Tex-Mex Blend cheese but you may substitute whatever cheese you like and happen to have on hand.
