I really like this! It was a bit spicey for my taste, but I'm a wimp when it comes to peppers. I didn't have quite two pounds of zucchini, so added a couple of yellow squash, which made it very pretty. Also, I used real eggs (3 or 4) and used pepper jack cheese instead of the regular monterey jack cheese and the hot pepper flakes. Since it was on the too-spicey side for me, I shall make it again with regular monterey jack and just a few hot pepper flakes and suspect I shall be back with a 5-star rating. Made for PAC Fall 2007. Thanks, Parsley!

My other half is a big fan of frittatas so I made this especially for him [well, almost ~ let's be honest ~ I also made it for me!]. I did cut back on the hot pepper flakes, but only a little [yeah, right!] & cut way back on the salt! It was was still extremely tasty & hardly made the cool-down to room temperature! Thanks for this posting!
