Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole

Summer Squash

This is just a blueprint for a yummy casserole.  You can use many other veggies in this and other meats/proteins.  You can also leave off anything you don't have and it will still be good!  I've made it with green sauce (from tomatillos) instead of the red sauce and it was also really good!

Sara’s Summer Squash Pie/Frittata

Our employee Sara is an innovator in the kitchen and we love her for it!  Here is yet another one of her creations that is so good that you'll wish you made two of them.  As mentioned below, use less eggs for more of a "pie" and more for a "frittata".  Either way it is so good!  Enjoy!
