Made this for supper. I substituted canadian bacon for the ham. I don't buy self-rising flour, so substituted 1/2 cup flour + 3/4 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt. It rose fine and the taste was lovely. I didn't measure the parmesan so probably used more than the recipe states. Who cares? It was a great weeknight supper!

I recommended this recipe recently in a forum so I thought I should get around to reviewing it. This is a fantastic recipe. It is quick to make and healthy too. I have substituted the ham with tinned salmon, bacon, cooked chicken etc. It is very versatile and forms the basis of a great frittata with what ever you have available meat or vegie wise. It is fab either hot or cold. Thanks for posting.

Very nice frittata - the addition of the flour was unusual for me, but it worked very nicely. Loved the combination of veggies.

I've made many a frittata containing zucchini over the years but this one beats them all...simple to make and very tasty.

AMAZING - It's the first time I've made a frittata and I loved it. I substituted some of the veggies for tomatoes and baby spinach and I also added 98% fat free bacon (upon husband's request) YUM, YUM, YUM. Love this recipe!!
