* As frittatas can be served hot or cold, you may decide to prepare the dish in advance, keeping it refrigerated until it is time to feast. 
* Serve it with breakfast sides if you wish, such as 
home fries, bacon and fruit.* If needed, add a bit of olive oil to the skillet when sautéing the artichoke hearts, garlic and onion.
* If you choose to add mushrooms, 
cook them before baking them in the frittata.
