FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI



Frittata with Zucchini image

A Frittata is an Italian way to use up leftover ingredients and to make a quick meal or snack. Unlike an American omelet, they're not usually eaten at breakfast. In fact, they are probably eaten more often as a snack or as a portable sandwich for a road trip or train ride. This one is made with zucchini from the garden; if yours have flowers - throw them in too!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 medium zucchini (or 2 small zucchinis), diced small
6 eggs
2 tablespoons milk, or water
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 to 3 zucchini flowers, cleaned, stamen removed and torn in half, optional
Tuscan bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in an 8- to-10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and zucchini and cook until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the milk. Add the Parmigiano and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until combined.
  • When the zucchini have softened, remove the pan from the heat and add the zucchini to the eggs. Stir to combine.
  • Add the butter to the same pan and swirl to melt. Add the egg and zucchini mixture and top with the torn zucchini flowers if using. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the frittata begin to brown and the center has set and is puffed slightly, about 8 minutes.
  • To serve, turn the frittata out onto a cutting board top-side-up. Slice and eat with Tuscan bread.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs     Frittata Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 large eggs
¼ cup milk
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bulb fennel, cored and cut into thin slices
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, quartered and cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups fresh spinach
½ cup roasted red peppers packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
8 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Prep the Zucchini Properly: Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create long, thin zucchini ribbons. This will help them cook evenly and add a nice texture to the frittata.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the frittata. Look for a fruity, flavorful oil that will complement the other ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Zucchini: The zucchini should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch to it. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme will add a bright, flavorful touch to the frittata. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Let the Frittata Cool Slightly Before Serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This garlic zucchini frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with healthy vegetables and protein, and it's easy to make. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to be a hit. The key to a successful frittata is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and to cook it gently. With a little care and attention, you can create a frittata that is both delicious and nutritious.
