Lovely way to use my first zucchinis this summer. I used spinach as my other veg. I sauted the onion, garlic, spinach , zucchini and onions in a cast iron skillet then added my egg mixture and placed directly in the oven. It took a very short time to cook since the skillet was already hot . Served room temperature with sliced avocados . Fresh tomato slices would be excellent with this but mine aren't quite ready yet. I will definately make again especially when the tomatoes are ready. Thanks Pixie for a yummy recipe that I think is very versatile depending on what ingredients are on hand.Reply

I'm not big on frittatas, but my companion liked this one. For some reason it took us a very long time to bake this--almost an hour. At the 30 minute mark it was very soupy and only the far edges had baked. I did drain the veggies after cooking on the stove top, so I'm not sure where I goofed. I've never tried swiss chard before. I recommend using it instead of a substitution; it imparts an interesting flavor.Reply
