Since my sister gave me some free range eggs along with some zucchini from my garden, I thought it would be a great idea to make a Fritatta. After looking on several different sites I decided to use one of Rachel Ray’s pet friendly recipes here. Because you know we always like to share with Roscoe our doggie.

Ingredients for Frittata

chopping up the veggies

Boiling the potatoes..

Freshly Grated parmesan by yours truly :)

Mixing the egg/potato/mik mixture to the veggies..

adding fresh parmesan cheese -ready to go into the oven...

All done!!

This turned out really delish! And Roscoe and the hubby did like it! I paired it with organic green beans & red potatoes.

So, what do you guys think? Is this the type of thing you normally eat?

The only thing that I didn’t like about this recipe is that she doesn’t use any salt & pepper- I think a dash of paprika would have also been nice- I plan on making this again and making the necessary adjustments and see how it turns out. She has this as 2 servings, but I would say it’s more like 4- for us anyway. The recipe is below:

Ingredients:

1 baking potato, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons milk 3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 small zucchini, chopped
1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese

Swap it (Pet friendly tip)
Substitute your dog’s favorite cheese for asiago.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°. Place the potato in a small bowl with enough water to cover and microwave at high power until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, add the milk and mash with a fork; let cool. Mix in the eggs.
In a medium, ovenproof skillet, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium heat. Add the zucchini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the potato mixture and stir to combine. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake until melted, about 2 minutes more. Let cool, then cut into wedges.

Hey there!
The frittata looks great! I love eating eggs, especially for breakfast
My family and I are going to go camping at Unicoi State Park in Helen, GA. We LOVE it up there, it just feels like home I think we’re gonna stay a couple nights at Stone Mountain too. What part of GA are you from??
Have a great night girly <3

Hi! Thanks!

Omigosh!! We were right by there when we went to the mountains a couple of years ago- we went to Vogel but stopped in at Unicoi- Helen, Georgia is a great little place- be sure to go to the flower mill and pick up some flax seed (if you like it) they sell it in whole seeds-it’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen! I am about 4.5 hours from Helen, GA

Have a great night yourself

oh yes I definitely eat fritatta’s often because they are usually so fast, high in protein and simply delicious!

I do usually add a smidge of s& p but often I enjoy it without it. I’ve grown up without s&p so it took me awhile to remember to use it because it does enhance the properties of eggs! ( learned that in food principles class this past semester!)

Have a great night!

I love frittatas… one of the best dinners ever… I’m jealous of your access to fresh eggs though

Your header is beautiful!! (Well, I guess I should say that YOU are beautiful!)

I know- so delish for any meal! This is the first time I’ve gotten fresh eggs- hopefully she will be sending more my way

Thank you so much! I just figured out how to do that!
