That's A Lotta Frittata (120kcals)
Note: Once again, this is a big-ish recipe (the name even insinuates this) so I think it would be fairly easy to cut this down. The upside to recipes like this is that if you cook for other people as well as yourself, it looks like a decent meal, yet is deceptively low-calorie and I doubt anyone would suspect ;]
