I modified a recipe

I was in the mood for an old recipe I got from my Dad, a zucchini frittata with cream cheese, zucchini, and other miscellaneous vegetable plus soft bread cubes in a custard. But it wanted a cup of black olives and I’m rather off olives these days…

So I decide that pancetta would be a good change. cube and render it and press out as much grease as possible, reserving just a bit in lieu of the vegetable oil that the veggies would normally be sauteed in. Then proceed as with the old recipe.

It was great! I’ll make it again!

(I’m eating the last of it as leftovers. It’s better than the first day.)

Here is the recipe for what I made. The original recipe used 1 cup of sliced black olives instead of the pancetta and sauteed them with the other veggies in 2 teaspoons of olive oil.

The web page with the recipe is printable. The print margins are larger than the on-screen margins.
