Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 large eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 cup ricotta cheese
6 strips bacon, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup corn, fresh or frozen and thawed
½ teaspoon black pepper
fresh parsley, for garnish, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the ricotta. Set aside.
  • Heat a 12-inch (30 cm) cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 3-5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the bacon from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the pan.
  • Add the onion to the pan and cook until caramelized, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and sauté until starting to soften, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the corn and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens further but is still bright green. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, then top with the bacon.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the top is puffed and the eggs are cooked through.
  • Garnish with parsley, then serve directly from the skillet.
  • Enjoy!

  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the cakes from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the cakes immediately. They are best when hot and fresh.
