Serves 1

• 1-2tb fat of choice
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4c summer squash
• 1-2 big handfuls spinach
• 1 squash blossom – slit open on one side so it’s “fanned” out
• 1/2c cooked tuber
• 1/2c chopped cooked meat
• 2tb fresh herbs
• Lemon juice to taste
• Edible flowers
  Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Heat your fat in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the squash and sauté until soft, then the tuber and meat, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.

Beat the eggs in a bowl

Add the eggs to the pan, season with the salt and pepper, and cook, lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom.

Gently place the squash blossom on top

When the frittata is partly cooked 5-7 minutes transfer to the broiler.

Keeping a close eye, broil until puffed, golden, and set, 3-5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

Place the spinach on a plate and top with the frittata

Garnish with herbs, lemon juice, edible flowers to taste

Eat up!
