Butternut Squash Frittata
Overview
Butternut Squash is so versatile- it can be made sweet or savory and used in such a variety of ways- like this super delicious BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTATA!
As the weather gets colder, I seem to always have squash in my fridge. And with Thanksgiving literally around the corner (can you believe it?!?!?), I have all the squash (recipe testing, you know?)!
This butternut squash frittata is a cinch to put together and here’s why you’ll love it:
- It’s super nutritious
- You’ll already have the butternut squash for Thanksgiving OR you’ll have some leftovers
- It doesn’t get soggy because you cook the squash ahead of time
- It is good the next day!
