Best 5 Zucchini And Ricotta Frittata Recipes

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and preheat the broiler.
• Over medium heat, heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick oven-proof pan. You can also use a cast iron pan.
• Add the finely minced french shallot and saute for 3-4 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Add the shredded zucchini and the chopped red pepper. Spread in a single layer and saute for 5-7 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. The total time depends on the "wetness" of the zucchini.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat together the eggs, 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, ricotta, basil, oregano, salt and pepper with a fork. Do not overbeat.
• When the vegetables are tender, pour this egg mixture over them in the pan and stir gently to combine.
• As the mixture begins to set and the bottom firms up, use a spatula or wooden spoon to lift the edge closest to you and allow the uncooked egg mixture to run underneath. Tilt the pan as you do this.
• Continue in this fashion until the top is no longer runny and the egg mixture is almost set. It should begin to pull away from the sides.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly over the top.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven.
• Broil for about 2-4 minutes until the center is set, dry to the touch and has just a little jiggle to it. It should be lightly browned.
• Let stand a few minutes then run a spatula around the edge and slide gently to a serving plate.
• Slice into wedges and serve it hot, at room temperature or cold.
• Optional: Garnish with extra basil or sliced green onions.
