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.

Categories     Egg     Bake

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups sliced zucchini
1/2 cup matzo meal or bread crumbs
1 cup colby or Monterey Jack cheese
6 eggs (room temperature), thoroughly beaten
2 cups (16 oz.) cottage, farmers or feta cheese (or a mixture of the three)
1/2 cup grated romano or parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice unpared zucchini into 1/4-inch slices. Steam until crisp-tender. After steaming, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside 1/4 cup of the matzo meal or bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the cheeses which you have mixed together. In a large bowl, mix the zucchini thoroughly with the rest of the ingredients. Oil a 9" x 13" baking pan. Dust bottom of pan with the reserved matzo meal or bread crumbs. Spread the zucchini-egg mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the top with the reserved cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes to an hour, until the top is golden and firm to the touch. Keep in mind that once out of the oven, the eggs will still continue cooking, so be careful not to over-bake.
