Corn, Cilantro, and Hatch Chile Frittata
Nothing says cockadoodledoo like an oven-baked frittata jam-packed with late summer sweet corn, spicy roasted chiles from Hatch, New Mexico, and lots of fresh cilantro. Start this frittata on the stovetop in your cast iron skillet, and then finish it in the oven so it gets puffy and delightfully brown.
