End-of-Summer Zucchini Mushroom Frittata
This time next week it will OFFICIALLY be fall.
It’ll be all pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and caramel covered apples. (This can’t come fast enough!)
But until then, lets squeeze every last zucchini and cherry tomato that we can out of summer. Then throw it into this easy frittata and eat it continuously for the next four, five, or six meals in a row.
Summer, I won’t miss you. Sorry. I’m more than ready for chilly mornings, sweaters, hoodies, and even a little (or a lot) of rain! Man, could I use a long weekend full of thunderstorms, sweatpants, and my couch, with a pot of soup simmering on the stove, and some fresh baked bread crisping in the oven. THAT is heaven.
I will admit however, I’ll definitely miss the abundance of tomatoes, peaches, plums, pluots, and every variety in between. There’s just nothing like the freshness you get from those farmer’s market summer ingredients.
Chop ’em up, throw it in a pan, pour some eggs on it and you’ve got yourself one helluva meal.
Top it off with some feta and fresh herbs and I’d say that we’ve given summer quite the send off.
