POTATO AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA



Potato and Zucchini Frittata image

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.

EGG WHITE FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI, BLACK OLIVES, AND CHARD



Egg White Frittata With Zucchini, Black Olives, and Chard image

My mom's garden is incredible. This recipe provides a perfect use for her bounty of zucchini and Swiss chard. It's also a delicious, very satisfying dish that's simple to make. The coconut milk adds richness and body without introducing coconut flavor but you could use cream, half-and-half, or any other kind of milk, dairy or non-dairy, instead. Lower fat contents will yield a lighter result.

Categories     Chard

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch to 1-inch dice
12 ounces chard leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Greek oregano
1/2 cup ripe black olives, chopped
10 egg whites
1/3 cup coconut milk (*not* the coconut milk that comes in a carton and is meant for drinking)

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle zucchini pieces with fine sea salt and set aside on a cutting board or in a colander for about 30 minutes.
  • Blot the zucchini with a towel, toss with enough olive oil to coat (about 1 Tbsp), and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast at 425 degrees F. for about 8 minutes; stir and roast another 5 to 8 minutes, until zucchini pieces are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Trim the chard by removing and discarding the stems. Cut the leaf blades into 1/2-inch ribbons.
  • Bring about a quart of salted water to a boil in a wide skillet. Add the chard and simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, turning the leaves over occasionally with a spatula. Drain the chard and spread on a cutting board to cool. When it's cool, squeeze excess moisture from the chard.
  • Saute the onion in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil until soft; add the garlic and oregano and saute another minute or so. Add the chard and olives, and cook for another couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the zucchini.
  • In a bowl, blend the egg whites and coconut milk. (If using canned coconut milk, shake the can vigorously before opening to blend the contents.) Stir in the vegetables. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 by 8 baking dish.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, as they tend to be more watery and less flavorful.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to cook evenly. If you don't have a grater, you can finely chop the zucchini instead.
  • Drain the zucchini: After grating the zucchini, drain it in a colander for a few minutes to remove excess moisture. This will help to prevent the frittata from becoming watery.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet is essential for making a frittata. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan and will make it easier to flip the frittata.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: Cooking the frittata over medium heat will help to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout. If you cook it over too high heat, the outside of the frittata will brown too quickly while the inside remains uncooked.

Conclusion:

This zucchini egg white frittata is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It's packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, and it's also low in calories and carbohydrates. Plus, it's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch recipe, give this zucchini egg white frittata a try.
