We really enjoyed this frittata. There was even a piece left over for lunch the next day which my DH declared to be almost nicer than it was warm the day before!! When I make again I will try and reduce some of the oil and use only 1 clove of garlic. I felt that the garlic was a little over powering for the delicate flavour of the carrots and zucchinis. Definitely a recipe worth making again. Thank you Sara76 for posting the recipe.

I loved this. I used garbanzo bean flour instead of the self rising flour (trying to have less carbs). It came out really well even without the flour. thanks
