September means lots of fresh vegetables at the local farmers market. This really is my favorite time of year. The markets are colorful and full of the summer’s bounty just waiting to be created into a delicious meal. I picked up zucchini, tomato, pepper, onion and potatoes and decided to make a vegetable frittata.
Frittatas are one of my favorite things to make because they are so easy to put together. The most time consuming thing is chopping the veggies, but once that is done it’s simply a matter of adding egg and waiting for it to bake.
I started the frittata on the stove top and then finished it in the oven under the broiler to give it a nice golden finish. This has been our favorite frittata to date. Each time I make it I use a different blend of vegetables. As you can imagine, the possibilities are just about endless. However, aged white cheddar is my one ingredient that always remains the same. It goes great with everything.

I love eggs! This sounds like a great recipe!
I’m not a fan of eggs but this looks so good I’d consider trying it. I miss all the nutrition value in eggs by slathering them with cheese. I bet my family would like it though.
YUM! This sounds so good and looks easy to make too!
That looks so tasty. I will need to make this.
I love fall and all of the fresh veggies around. This looks like such a delicious dish to make. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
You’re right, it is the perfect time of year to find just tons of great fresh veggies everywhere. These frittatas look really good.
I love the pepper fan in the fritatta. It looks delicious. I would have never thought to add zucchini. Can’t wait to try this combo.
That looks really good. I’m not even an eggs eater.
This looks really yummy and easy to make! I’ll have to try it this weekend.
This sounds really easy to make, and filling too! I am going to have to add it to our menu soon!
Oh, this looks so good! I try to feed my family healthy meals, and this certainly fits that bill. Thanks!
Yum! I’m always a fan of breakfast for dinner.
I love a good frittata recipe. I am the only one who eats them though. My husband will barely even eat eggs and when its weekend breakfast time he will only eat the whites.
This looks really tasty – and fun. My son is all about some “fun” looking food, while I try to make things a bit healthier for him!
Your recipes always look so good! I miss you 🙂
