Summer Squash Frittata image

Nice light meal for summer that uses fresh veggies, and is easy to put together. It is really a meal in itself, but you could always add some fresh french bread & herb butter to go with it.

THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)



The Farmer's Frittata (Italian-Style Omelet) image

Loaded with fresh vegetables and a touch of bacon, this farmer's frittata is my favorite type of frittata. It's a perfect way to use your gorgeous, fresh garden vegetables. Curing the squash with kosher salt pulls out the bitterness and makes the squash taste sweeter. It's got great texture, taste, and visual appeal and can be served hot, warm, at room temperature or cold for any meal of the day.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups cubed zucchini
2 ½ cups cubed yellow summer squash
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 slice thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
8 large eggs
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, or to taste
⅓ cup diced red onion
1 cup diced sweet peppers
2 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
  • Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.
