This frittata is a great make-ahead breakfast or lunch. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week. It's also a great option for potlucks or picnics.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I loved this frittata. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors. I will definitely be making this again.
