Roasted Squash and Corn Frittata

Ali Segersten (author)
Roasted Squash and Corn Frittata

This recipe is perfect for lazy weekend breakfasts or large family brunches in early autumn when the fresh corn and squash are in abundance. If fresh corn is out of season, use about 1 ½ cups of frozen organic corn instead. Serve with an arugula salad for a nourishing, balanced breakfast or weekend brunch.

Ingredients
1½ cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pinches sea salt
4 green onions cut into rounds
2 small jalapeño peppers seeded and diced
2 sweet corn cut off the cob
½ teaspoons Herbamare (or sea salt)
6 large eggs
½ cups cotija cheese (or feta cheese, optional)

Used only 1 jalapeno, turned out great, perfect timing of season as stated in description: early fall. I will miss fresh corn!
