Zucchini Frittata image

The beauty of this recipe is it uses 8 cups of shredded zucchini. My 12 year old son grows his own zucchini and asks me frequently to make this for dinner. A family favorite, I usually serve it with tortilla chips, homemade salsa and fresh slices of cold melon.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini (about three pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1 garlic clove, minced
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 pinch cayenne or 1 pinch hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Place the shredded zucchini in a towel or several layers of cheese cloth, gather ends and twist hard sqeezing out as much liquid as possible.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large oven proof skillet (I use cast iron) and saute onion and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and cook the vegetables over moderately low heat, stirring often, until the zucchini is just tender. Pour off any liquid that collects in the pan.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, seasonings, and 2 Tbs. of the parmesean cheese.
  • Add to zucchini mixture, and cook, stirring often, until the eggs begin to set.
  • Sprinkle the Frittata with remainder parmesean cheese and place the pan under the broiler or in a very hot oven (500)until the top of the Frittata is lightly browned (this happens fast so keep a close watch so it doesn't burn).
  • Let stand a few minutes before slicing into wedges.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I loved this frittata! The zucchini was cooked perfectly and didn't have a strong flavor. The cheese and eggs helped to balance out the flavor of the zucchini.

This frittata is a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I usually have a few zucchinis in my fridge that I need to use up, and this frittata is a great way to do it. It's also a healthy and delicious dish.

I made this frittata in a cast iron skillet and it turned out perfectly. The cast iron skillet helped to evenly distribute the heat and gave the frittata a nice crispy crust.

I used a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese in this frittata and it was perfect. The cheddar gave it a nice sharp flavor, while the mozzarella melted beautifully and gave it a gooey texture.

I added some crumbled sausage to this frittata and it was delicious! It gave the dish a nice savory flavor. I also think it would be good with some chopped spinach or kale.

This frittata is a great make-ahead breakfast or lunch. I often make it on the weekend and then slice it up and reheat it during the week. It's also a great option for a potluck or brunch.
