Zucchini Frittata

One of the vegetables I have growing in my garden this year is zucchini, so it's fun to make as many dishes as possible. Here is what half of the first zucchini was used for.
A frittata is basically a little thicker omelet, sometimes prepared in a frying pan, sometimes baked in the oven. This one I decided to bake in the oven. I took 6 eggs, whisked them together added 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 tbsp flour, grated zucchini, green peas, a few chunks of spicy cooked sausage and a few shakes of parmesan. I mixed it all together and poured the mixture in a greased oven proof dish and baked it for 35-40 minutes at 450 degrees.

This is a dish you can serve morning, lunch or dinner.... Just pair it up with whatever sides go with the type of meal. It's even good cold the day after!

I would suggest you find some eggs directly from a farmer or as close as you can get from a grocer and see if you can tell a difference in a dish like this. It looks good!
