Grated Zucchini Frittata With Goat Cheese


Owning three chickens means that although I am fortunate to be able to collect 3 fresh, organic eggs each and every day, I also need to find ways to use them up in creative and delicious ways. One thing I have lots of right now in my kitchen are zucchini, so one morning I decided to combine grated zucchini with the eggs into a tasty frittata.

I love goat cheese, and personally feel that anything that includes goat cheese always seems to taste better so it ended up in my frittata as well. I have made this egg dish several times, and although I normally do not love eggs first thing in the morning, I found this frittata lovely enjoyed at lunch with a crisp green salad.

Buon Appetito!
