Greek Frittata – Easy Dinner Idea

I picked up a package of zucchini from the local produce market for some vegetarian chili but realized I was going to have some left over.  I went in search of something different to use it in.  This Greek Frittata was perfect for my quest, especially since I always have feta cheese on hand!  I adapted the ingredients to make it as simple as possible – zucchini, seasoned canned tomatoes, feta and romano cheese, but you can easily season the tomatoes yourself with some fresh or dried herbs if you prefer. 

The zucchini should be diced into 1/2 pieces and added to a frying pan of heated olive oil. 

The tomatoes should be drained well before adding to the pan with the sauteed zucchini.  They will then be left to cook until any remaining liquid has evaporated. 

Once you add the eggs and they begin to set, you will add the most important ingredient of this dish, the cheese!

You can serve this with sour cream or as is.  It makes an amazing low carb, gluten free meal for any time of the day!
