    Zucchini Tomato and Feta Frittata. The perfect quick and easy dish to put together on a hot summer's day. Light and bursting with the flavor of summer produce

    Enjoy the best summer has to offer in this Zucchini, Tomato, and Feta Frittata. Bursting with delicious fresh seasonal flavors and ready to be packed up for a picnic and shared with friends and family.

    Zucchini Tomato and Feta Frittata

    For someone who couldn't even keep a single strawberry plant alive two years ago, my little garden is going great guns this season!!

    So good in fact, that I have zucchini and tomatoes coming out of the wazoo, and have had to use them up in every way imaginable.

    This is of course how this little Zucchini, Tomato, and Feta Frittata came about.

    It is always super handy to have a quick and easy frittata recipe on hand.

    Especially when the days are long and delightful and you spend the whole evening at the beach, only to come home and realize there is no food prepared.

    In those moments, dishes like this  Zucchini Tomato and Feta Frittata can be an absolute lifesaver, as they:

    • come together in about 15 minutes from start to finish
    • can also be prepped ahead of time and kept in the fridge
    • pack well so can be taken along for an easy lunch that doesn't get too messy
    • is super versatile, meaning you can use the ingredients you have on hand.

    It also works well packed up and brought along to the pool for a picnic, which means no dinner dishes at home, always a plus in my books.

    This is exactly what I have been doing at least once a week this summer, and it has been just lovely.

    Zucchini Tomato and Feta Frittata

    Tips, Tricks, and Substitutions

    Use up what you have in the fridge, or growing in your garden, and make this easy frittata your own.

    If you have lots of herbs, then throw them in there and make it a herby frittata, if you have some summer squash then throw that in there too.

    Heirloom tomatoes work wonders dotted on top instead of the cherry tomatoes (although if you have little ones, they may just prefer the baby tomatoes, I know mine do!)

    This zucchini frittata is super versatile, and is just begging for you to make it into something your whole family will love!

    Do you have much (or anything) growing in your garden this season?

    My heirlooms are all just starting to come in, and I am super excited as I have some random varieties planted this year. They are just perfect for making Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce and bottling for the year ahead.

    If you haven't gardened much, then I recommend planting some cucumbers - those things just grow like weeds!! We have had a couple coming through every week, and they are super refreshing in smoothies.

    Once you have mastered the frittata why not try another recipe that uses up lots of veggies like this:

    • Clear Out The Crisper Spinach and Feta Veggie Omelette
    • Delicious Gluten-Free Zucchini Slice Recipe
    • Veggie Loaded Tater Tots
    • Leek and Squash Quiche

    Happy Eating!

    • Pop the skillet under the broiler until puffy and golden (about 2 mins) and remove from heat
    • Slide the frittata onto a cutting board and allow to cool for about 15 mins before slicing and serving

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
