Zucchini frittata is a dish that my grandmother made when my dad was growing up. It was fast, easy, and cheap, and it served many if it was sliced and served on a thick chunk of Italian bread.
We ate a lot of frittat when I was growing up, and zucchini frittat was one of my favorites.
I also like onion frittat and pepperoni frittat, which, as you can probably guess, is not a low-fat frittat.
One good thing about frittat is that you can serve them at breakfast, lunch, or dinner (or breakfast, dinner, and supper if you’re from the real south).
We usually make a frittat and serve it for lunch. It makes a good sandwich, and it’s even better if it’s eaten with hot cherry peppers in oil.
Frittat Sandwich = slice of Italian bread, topped with slice of frittat, topped with a healthy serving of hot peppers, and finished with a slice of Italian bread.
