RECIPE NOTES

• You can use non dairy butter or olive oil if desired but the taste and consistency might be a littler different. Check around 35 minutes to see if the veggies cook faster.
• Zucchini works in place of yellow squash too!
• Notes on consistency- the egg/butter/cream mixture acts as a base almost like a frittata. You will want to make sure that's cooked through as well. If you find the consistency too runny, use less cream or one less egg.
• Notes on flour substitutes Thanks to a reader Gail for informing me about this. She used coconut flour in place of almond flour. It is in a ratio of 1/4 of the almond flour. So, in this recipe you will use 2 tablespoons instead of 1/2 cup almond flour. Add a little extra liquid,
