Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 medium summer squash, sliced 1/4 thick 3 medium zucchini, slcied 1/4 thick
1 red bell pepper, seeded diced
1 green peppers or 1 yellow pepper, seeded and diced
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
6 large eggs (egg substitute will work)
1/4 cup heavy cream (I use regular milk and sometimes even skim)
salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 cups stale French bread cubes
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (reduced fat will work)
2 cups grated swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 10 inch springform pan.
  • (A 13 X 9 baking dish will work if you don't have a springform pan).
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium/high heat.
  • Add the onion, garlic, summer squash, zucchini, peppers and mushrooms and saute, stirring the vegetables until they are crisp-tender about 15-20 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the eggs and cream together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the bread cubes, cream cheese and swiss cheese.
  • Add the sauteed vegetables to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan and pack the mixture in tightly.
  • Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drippings.
  • Bake the frittata until firm to the touch, puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • If the top is getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil while baking.
  • Serve the frittata hot, at room temperature or cold.
  • It can also be reheated in a 350 degree oven until warmed through about 15 minutes.
