Squash Basil & Tomato Frittata

Squash Basil & Tomato Frittata

This summer I planted a TON of squash in our garden. I focused on that because we eat zucchini and summer squash all summer long, plus, we were getting a little tired of jalapeos. The other day I harvested three perfect squash and made it a goal to eat them at every meal. First up, breakfast.

Since our morning breakfast routine is usually pretty frazzled I like to make frittatas. They basically require nothing more than a quick saute and whisk, then they are popped in the oven and forgotten until ready. Easy peasy, and so perfect for those minutes I am running around the house making lunches and reminding kids to make their beds.

To make this delicious dish I sauteed some onion and squash in a pan until just softened. Then I added the eggs which I had already whisked, halved tomatoes, salt, pepper, and lots of fresh basil. Everything was popped in the oven for just a few minutes and breakfast was ready. It was the perfect easy breakfast dish for enjoying summer squash.
