FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI



Frittata with Zucchini image

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.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA



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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. Zucchini is a great base, but feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, kale, or spinach.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Cheddar, mozzarella, feta, and Parmesan are all popular choices, but you can also try Gouda, Gruyère, or goat cheese.
  • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the frittata. It should be set in the center, but still slightly jiggly.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Zucchini oven frittata is a versatile and delicious dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make, and you can customize it to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this frittata a try!
