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!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

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.

Time 45m

Yield 1 Frittata, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed (optional)
1 1/2 lbs zucchini
2 tablespoons Italian parsley or 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
5 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (parmesan cheese)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler (the one in your oven, not the BBQ grill).
  • In a small frying pan over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • Add the onion and dried thyme (if using it).
  • Sauté until the onion wilts (about five minutes).
  • Prepare the zucchini by cutting off the stems and blossom ends, cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut them crosswise into thin slices.
  • Add the zucchini, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally (until tender but not mushy- about 10 to 12 minutes).
  • Just before the zucchini slices are done, add the fresh thyme (if using it) and the basil OR parsley.
  • Place the mixture in a colander to cool and allow excess water to drain out (about ten minutes).
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
  • Beat in the salt, pepper, and cheese.
  • Add the drained cooled zucchini and onion mixture.
  • Pour the remaining two tablespoons olive oil in a flameproof 12-inch skillet or omelet pan and place over medium heat.
  • When it is hot enough to make the eggs sizzle, pour in the egg mixture, making sure the zucchini mixture is distributed evenly.
  • Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata gently until it is set (about 12-15 minutes).
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs.
  • To finish cooking, slide the pan under the preheated broiler six inches from the heat until the top is golden (about 1-2 minutes more).
  • Use a spatula to loosen the edges from the pan, slide the frittata out onto a serving plate.
  • Serve warm or cold, cut into wedges.

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small zucchini
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
10 eggs, well beaten with 2 tablespoons water (can be done with hand mixer or in blender)
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice the zucchini lengthwise in half and cut each half into very thin half moon shapes. Melt the butter in a large (preferably nonstick) skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and then add the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook just until slightly tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Spread the onion and zucchini evenly over the bottom of the pan and top with the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and allow it to cook until just starting to set at edges. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top, and put it in the oven until golden on top, about 3 to 5 minutes. Slightly cool the frittata in the pan before slicing. Serve it from the pan or invert it onto a plate, then slice and serve.
