FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI

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!

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.

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

SPANISH ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

This is a recipe that I found in Quick & Healthy by Brenda Ponichtera. It's a really great entree for lunch or dinner. It also makes a great breakfast. When made using Egg Beaters, this recipe is only 1 point per serving. When made with regular eggs, it is 2 points per serving.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

The beauty of this recipe is it uses 8 cups of shredded zucchini. My 12 year old son grows his own zucchini and asks me frequently to make this for dinner. A family favorite, I usually serve it with tortilla chips, homemade salsa and fresh slices of cold melon.

Steps:

  • Place the shredded zucchini in a towel or several layers of cheese cloth, gather ends and twist hard sqeezing out as much liquid as possible.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large oven proof skillet (I use cast iron) and saute onion and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and cook the vegetables over moderately low heat, stirring often, until the zucchini is just tender. Pour off any liquid that collects in the pan.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, seasonings, and 2 Tbs. of the parmesean cheese.
  • Add to zucchini mixture, and cook, stirring often, until the eggs begin to set.
  • Sprinkle the Frittata with remainder parmesean cheese and place the pan under the broiler or in a very hot oven (500)until the top of the Frittata is lightly browned (this happens fast so keep a close watch so it doesn't burn).
  • Let stand a few minutes before slicing into wedges.

8 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini (about three pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1 garlic clove, minced
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 pinch cayenne or 1 pinch hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

When we travel by car, I make the frittata the night before, stuff it into pita bread in the morning and microwave for a minute or two before I wrap them in a towel so down the road we can enjoy a still-warm breakfast! -Carol Blumenberg, Lehigh Acres, Florida

FRITTATA DI ZUCCHINE (ZUCCHINI FRITTATA)

Over 50 years ago, I was taught to make zucchini frittatas by my grandmother. This is her recipe, which I still use on a regular basis. You can adjust/substitute the herbs to your taste preference to make this recipe "your own". Served with a tossed green salad on the side, it makes a wonderful light dinner. Posted in answer to a request.

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.

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Spain has one of my favorite omelets made from potatoes, cheese and onions called a "tortilla." Not to be confused with a Mexican tortilla, a Spanish tortilla is like the perfect mash-up of a baked potato and scrambled eggs. The Spanish serve it like an appetizer, but I love making it into an omelet. The key is to season every layer with salt and pepper at each stage. Small yellow potatoes are a bit more work to peel and dice, but they're sweeter than larger russet potatoes.

Spanish-Style Potato and Onion Frittata image

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
  • Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

6 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan, divided
1 pound (454 grams) yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into small dice
4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded mozzarella or other melting cheese
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Iraqi omelet. The difference is that the omelet is taller, you slice it like a pie, and you cook it in a smaller fry pan. I'm putting in parenthesis how I made this for my taste.

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small fry pan. (I used a small saucepan.).
  • Add onion; cook on low heat until translucent.
  • Add zucchini, (I only used 1 zucchini) salt and pepper. Do not overcook. Zucchini should still have crunch.
  • In a large bowl whisk eggs (I used 4 eggs ), and salt.
  • Add the zucchini mixture; mix. (I put in eggs then added onion mixture).
  • Add finely diced sage or basil now if using. Add only 1 leaf; don't go crazy.
  • Coat bottom and sides of fry pan with olive oil. (I used Pam after I lifted out veggies, and took out most oil in a sauce pan with a little oil).
  • Add zucchini egg mixture; have on low heat. Keep lifting up omelet and letting it run underneath; when almost dry on top, flip).
  • Cover saucepan with a plate.
  • Here is the hard part.
  • SLOWLY, with the bottom part cooked, flip the mixture onto the plate and slide back into the pan, uncooked side down.
  • Finish cooking.
  • DO NOT BURN YOURSELF TRYING TO DO THIS.
  • I have found a couple of seconds in microwave will set eggs nicely.
