My DH & I really enjoyed this lowcarb Frittata. I cut the olive oil to 1 tablespoon, used the yellow squash. Didn't have the marjoran, so I used Basil. This was very good reheated in the microwave for lunch the next day. I will be making this again, a good low carb meal.

I made this using zucchini in place of the yellow squash and omitted the marjoram and increased the garlic amount, great recipe CC, thanks for sharing!
