Courgette and Feta Cheese Frittata
"I'd had something similar as part of a tapas meal and thought I'd have a go. Yesterday I was given some garden fresh courgettes by a colleague and that's what set me off. I use a nonstick omelet pan that's about 8" dia and has quite steep sides."

Can I say Moyni that I am glad you did have a go, this was very nice we had it for lunch hot with salad and very nice it was too! but later we had what was left cold, and I think it was much better cold and chilled the flavours seemed to be stronger I am a big fan of feta I just love it and I will admit to puting a wee bit more in. It was lovely, I used fresh mint and fresh courgettes from my garden as was the salad leaves and the toms from my greenhouse, the only thing I had to buy was the eggs and cheese and if my chickens had been laying that would have been free too sadly we don't have eggs yet, but your recipe was very good and will certainly make it again. Made for PAC fall 09 well done.

Going through a phase with muffins at the moment - they are only recently becoming popular here in the UK, thank you Otis Spunkmeyer. I'm alternating between healthy and naughty recipes, like to take them to work to share round - better than taking in boxes of doughnuts from Mr Krispy K (which have only lately been sold over here).
