Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 30 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 11

Good olive oil
6 ounces pancetta, 1/2-inch-diced
4 cups medium-diced leeks, white and light green parts (4 leeks), washed and spun dry
8 to 10 ounces small zucchini, thinly sliced in rounds
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced
12 extra-large eggs
3/4 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces grated Gruyere cheese, divided
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Julienned fresh basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-by-18-by-1-inch sheet pan with olive oil.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute for 5 minutes, until it begins to brown. Add the leeks and saute for 5 minutes, until tender. Add the zucchini and thyme and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir in two-thirds of the Gruyere and the basil.
  • Pour the zucchini mixture in an even, well distributed layer into the prepared sheet pan. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere. Shake the pan to evenly distribute the egg mixture. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and just set in the center. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Cut the frittata into 30 equal size squares, sprinkle with salt, garnish with the julienned basil and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CHEESE SQUARES APPETIZER



Cheese Squares Appetizer image

This is a wonderful baked appetizer blending the tastes of Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. The amount of jalapenos used can easily be adjusted to personal taste, although baking does take a lot of the burn out of the peppers. I've made this several times and I never have leftovers. My husband wishes I would make these for him every day. I don't recommend doubling the recipe; make multiple batches instead.

EASY CHEESY ZUCCHINI SQUARES

This reminds me of a quiche. It can be served as the entree or as appetizers. It is a great way to use zucchini. I found this recipe printed in our local newspaper that sited the source as "The New Southern Garden Cookbook..."

Provided by mary Armstrong

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c grated zucchini, peeled and seeded if needed ( i leave some peeling on for color)
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 large eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp high quality lemon pepper
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dry
1 c finely chopped onion
2 c grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mist the inside of a 7x11 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2. Stir together the zucchini and salt in a colander and let drain 15 minutes. Press out the liquid; let drain another 15 minutes. Pick up small handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer to a small bowl.
  • 3. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • 4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the oil, lemon pepper and thyme. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well.
  • 5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the zucchini, onion and cheese. The batter will be very stiff. Scrape it into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the corners.
  • 6. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
  • 7. I have reheated the leftovers the next day and it was just as good maybe even better!
