Summer Vegetable Frittata

A frittata loaded with seasonal vegetables is one of my favorite go-to meals. This summer vegetable frittata can be served at any meal of the day. You can serve it hot or at room temperature. It’s very versatile!

This frittata recipe makes a meal all on it’s own, or you can add some protein on the side or a quick salad.

Depending on the season, you can swap out the zucchini and peppers for other vegetables such as broccoli, roasted potatoes or carrots. The cheeses can be swapped out as well for cheddar, provolone, or whatever you’ve got on hand!
