directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Heat oil in a large pot over medium/high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, summer squash, zucchini, peppers and mushrooms and saute, stirring the vegetables until they are crisp-tender about 15-20 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the eggs and cream together in a large mixing bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the bread cubes, cream cheese and swiss cheese.
- Add the sauteed vegetables to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
- Pour into prepared pan and pack the mixture in tightly.
- Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drippings.
- Bake the frittata until firm to the touch, puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour.
- If the top is getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil while baking.
- Serve the frittata hot, at room temperature or cold.
- It can also be reheated in a 350 degree oven until warmed through about 15 minutes.

I am a recent widow and am trying to find my way in life without my DH. I am blessed with many great friends and my sister and brothers who I love very much. I love to cook to entertain and feed my friends and family whenever I can.
My interests are running, tennis and working out.
I have a crazy little cat named Lucy who keeps me entertained - that is her picture you see on my page.
