1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon oil
1 cup thinly sliced cooked potatoes
1 cup thinly sliced summer and/or zucchini squash

1/2 cup chopped red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oil and onion in a large

until onion is soft (about 3-4 minutes). Remove onion
from skillet. Layer potatoes in bottom of skillet and sprinkle
with salt and pepper; layer squash on top of potatoes and
sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In medium bowl, beat eggs; stir in onion, cheeses, red pepper,
basil, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over
the potato and squash. Place skillet on low-medium heat and
cook for about 10 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake
about 15-20 minutes until the top is set.
Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve either warm
or at room temperature.
Variations: Substitute or combine any variety of vegetables
such as chopped tomatoes, chopped spinach, and sautéed mushrooms
for squash and peppers. Also try other fresh herbs such as
oregano, parsley or chives instead of basil.
