What makes this frittata different is the bread. It soaks up the egg and cream and gives the frittata a firm but still tender texture. It also makes it easier to slide onto a serving plate, if that’s how you want to serve it.

Cooks' Note

This simple and satisfying dish can be made even simpler by using a leftover baked potato instead of starting from scratch by boiling a potato.
