Time 35m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced scallions (about 6)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
2 cups thinly sliced zucchini (about 1 medium)
12 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup grated provolone (2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Melt butter in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook until tender, 4 to 8 minutes. (This ensures that the vegetables are cooked and won't release extra moisture, which would make the frittata tough and watery.)
  • Meanwhile, beat together eggs and milk with a fork (it gives you more speed and agility than a whisk here) until well combined. Stir in basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook over medium-high, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are wet on top but otherwise set throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with provolone, pressing about half down into eggs. Transfer to oven; broil until puffed and browning in spots and eggs are just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Frittata can be served hot or at room temperature.

FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI

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!

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.
