Mediterranean Frittata

Gail11's Note:

I was tired of making the same things over and over to take for a picnic lunch. I decided to try to make something special for my friend's birthday lunch picnic at the beach. It needed to be something that would travel well and needed no ovens, grills, etc. to prepare. It was a real hit. My birthday friend was more pleased with the meal than her birthday present!
