LEFTOVERS

I love having leftover Zucchini Frittata because it tastes just as good the next day or even the next few days after that! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. When you want to reheat, simply place the frittata in the microwave for a 15-30 seconds.

Notes

  1. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. When you want to reheat, simply place the frittata in the microwave for a 15-30 seconds.
  2. Make sure the zucchini is thinly sliced. I used a mandoline to cut my zucchini to ensure thin slices. You could also shred the zucchini but be sure to squeeze out any additional water.

    Such a wonderful tasty dinner! I used cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan but next time I might try goat cheese 🙂 Definitely will make again.

        Hi Adriana! You mention that shredded zucchini can be used if the water is squeezed out, but it doesn’t sound like that step is required if using slices. Does sliced vs. shredded zucchini really make a difference in terms of moisture?

          Hi Kelly, it’s easier to squeeze out the moisture in shredded zucchini as opposed to sliced but it is not required. I hope you love this recipe and please let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
