Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.
