Tuscan Frittata with Mozzarella & Squash

Frittata 1

I am more than eager for fall and cannot wait to go to a pumpkin patch. So while I wait, I figured I would make an “end of the summer, can’t wait for fall” frittata that feels both summer-y and fall-ready. I used three different recipes for inspiration while also trying to use up ingredients that I already had in my kitchen.

This recipe incorporates some of my favorite things and while I made a smaller serving that feeds two to three people, it could easily be adapted to accommodate more servings if you had a group of friends over for brunch or made it for your family.

Ingredients:

  1. 6 eggs
  2. 1/2 Cup of Mozzarella Cheese
  3. 1/4 Cup of Parmesan cheese or Italian cheese blend
  4. 1 medium-sized yellow squash or zucchini diced
  5. 2 cloves of chopped garlic
  6. 1/2 Cup of Coconut Milk (or half & half)
  7. 1 Tablespoon of Pesto or more if you like! (I used 365 Basil Pesto)
  8. 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  9. 2 teaspoons of Italian Seasoning (including but not limited to: basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano)
  10. Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and butter a 10×10 Casserole Dish.
  2. On a skillet over medium heat, sauté the squash and garlic tossed in olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until tender and sizzling – about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk together all six eggs and coconut milk until fully mixed. Add in the cheeses, pesto, and seasoning with a dash of salt and pepper.
  4. Next, combine the squash and garlic into the egg mixture. Then pour everything into the casserole dish.
  5. Cover with lid and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Remove, let sit for a few minutes, then enjoy!
  7. Pro-Tip- I broiled slices of baguette with olive oil and pesto as an accompaniment.
