Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch half rounds (about 2 cups)
1 yellow squash, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch half rounds (about 2 cups)
1 garlic clove, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup canned or jarred slow roasted tomatoes, drained
12 large eggs, beaten
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup dill, picked
1/2 cup parsley, chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick cast-iron skillet over a medium high flame. When it is hot, add the zucchini and yellow squash. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until lightly caramelized, about 6 minutes.
When the zucchini and yellow squash are browned and softened, add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the tomatoes and toss to warm through. Add the eggs and begin to stir with a silicone or rubber spatula. When the eggs begin to show signs of setting, season with salt and pepper and place the skillet in the oven.
Cook the frittata until the center sets, about 20 minutes. Remove the frittata from the pan by turning it out or sliding it out with the help of a spatula underneath one side.
Garnish the frittata with the feta cheese, dill and parsley.

When we travel by car, I make the frittata the night before, stuff it into pita bread in the morning and microwave for a minute or two before I wrap them in a towel so down the road we can enjoy a still-warm breakfast! -Carol Blumenberg, Lehigh Acres, Florida

HERB FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH

Herb Frittata with Zucchini and Yellow Squash image

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
7 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chives, plus whole chives for garnish
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh marjoram
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 small zucchini, cut crosswise into thin rounds
1 small yellow summer squash, cut crosswise into thin rounds

Steps:

Heat the butter with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted.
Preheat the broiler, with the rack about 7 inches from the heat source. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, cream, and herbs until well blended. Stir in the salt, and season with pepper.
Add the egg mixture to the skillet; cook until the bottom is set and golden, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until 1 inch of the edges is almost set, about 4 minutes more. Remove from heat. Gently press the zucchini and squash on top, overlapping slightly in concentric circles.
Broil (checking often) until golden and just cooked through in center, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently slide onto a plate with a spatula; drizzle with the remaining tablespoon oil. Garnish with whole chives.
