Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 large eggs
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small zucchini (about 6 ounces), grated and squeezed dry in clean kitchen towel
1/2 cup queso fresco (2 ounces)
2 strips cooked crumbled turkey bacon, optional

Steps:

  • Bring the potatoes with enough cold water to cover to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, over medium-high heat, until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain and pat dry.
  • Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cilantro, salt, and hot sauce in a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven broiler to medium-high.
  • Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 2 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until tender, about 6 minutes more. Add the cooked potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown slightly, about 4 minutes more.
  • Evenly pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture. Cook, over medium heat, tilting the pan and lifting the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath. Sprinkle with the cheese and the bacon, if using. Broil, 5 to 7 inches from the heat, until the eggs puff and are just set and the cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove carefully to a plate, or serve in wedges directly from the skillet.

PERFECT FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI AND PROVOLONE



Perfect Frittata with Zucchini and Provolone image

This classic Italian egg dish is its country's answer to the French omelet -- but much more versatile. It's great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and delicious hot or at room temperature. Once you get the basics down, check out our variations below.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Using a nonstick skillet will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • If you don't have a nonstick skillet, grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • Be sure to cook the zucchini until it is tender but not mushy.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the frittata, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
  • You can also add cheese to the frittata, if desired.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This spicy zucchini frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrition, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
