Tortilla de Zapallitos Chilean Zucchini FrittataThis zucchini frittata is delicious and very easy to do. I had already told you before I made the frittatas. on the stove over a low flame, broil them in the oven. I do not flip them half-cooked because I’m afraid to break them.

If you like a more fluffy frittata, separate the eggs, beat the egg whites, and then incorporate them into the yolks and zucchinis mixture. The frittata was even better reheated the next day.

This is a fantastic way to use the abundance of summer squashes and zucchinis during summer.
