    Mixed Pepper Frittata

    Make the most of eggs: they are a source of protein, calcium, zinc and iron and are rich in vitamins A, D, E and B, making them especially suitable for children who need these nutrients to grow. In addition to being good for us, eggs are also tasty and versatile. They are delicious boiled, fried, poached and scrambled or used as an ingredient for a tasty meal.
