I only used 3 cups of zucchini because it looked like a lot of zucchini for 4 eggs. I also tamed this down a little by using only 2 tablespoons of green chilies because young children were going to eat for lunch. I used Pace Picante Sauce medium blend to top the frittata. Made for *Every Day is a Holiday 2009* game. -
A wonderful taste with just enough kick to it. Made as a breakfast treat on this beautiful Saturday morning unfortunately the element on my stove let go and I couldn't finish this under the broiler-not your fault-or mine-it happens. Made for Aussie RS#29. -
Very nice frittata. I actually used leftover Recipe #130567 since it had the same ingredients of zucchini, onions and garlic. I used seasoning salt in place of table salt with great results. I also added a few dots of ricotta around the top of the frittata (since I need to use it up). I found cilantro leaves to be a great accent to this dish. Thanks for a tasty breakfast. Made for MAKE MY RECIPE. Thanks -
