This is something like the Spanish tortilla omelete. Frittatas are
good for breakfast dishes because they use up odds & ends of leftover
meat & vegetables.
Cut bacon into small pieces & cook slowly until cooked but not crisp.
Remove, leaving fat in pan. Cut zucchini into pieces. Add oil to bacon
drippings & saute vegetables lightly for 1 to 2 minutes, until heated
through & mixed. Sprinkle with parsley.
Beat eggs with salt, pepper & tabasco sauce & pour over zucchini
mixture. Cook over low heat. As egg begins to set, lift sides with
spatula to let it run underneath. When browned around edges & set at
the bottom, sprinkle with cheese, place under hot broiler until top
is set, browned, & slightly puffy. Serve at once.
You can also use: cubed cooked ham or sausage; sliced mushrooms,
broccoli, or cauliflower; artichoke hearts; roast pork, chicken,
turkey, cubed chicken livers; fresh herbs (tarragon or oregano).
