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.

Steps:

  • Whisk together whole eggs, whites, milk, ricotta salata, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Cook zucchini in oil in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet (or wrap plastic handle in a double layer of foil) over moderate heat, stirring, until just tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Pour egg mixture over zucchini and cook over moderately high heat, lifting up cooked egg around edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath, 3 to 5 minutes (top will still be moist).
  • Sprinkle top with Parmigiano-Reggiano and arrange blossoms (if using) evenly on top, pressing them in lightly.
  • Broil frittata 6 inches from heat until set, puffed, and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Cool 5 minutes, then loosen edges with a spatula and slide onto a platter. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

7 whole large eggs
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup whole milk
5 oz ricotta salata, finely crumbled (1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium zucchini (1 to 1 1/4 lb total), quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 oz)
6 large zucchini blossoms (optional), tough ends removed

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Start by crushing some garlic and heating it in some olive oil in a medium nonstick saute pan on the stove. While that is heating up, very thinly slice the zucchini on a mandoline. When the oil and garlic are heated, tear some basil into the pan and add all the sliced zucchini. Cook until the zucchini is tender, but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Blend eggs in a blender with a little bit of milk and some salt and pepper. Blend on the highest speed.
  • Pour the egg mixture into saute pan and let it sit for 1 minute. When there isn't much loose egg left in the pan, grate some Parmesan on top and place pan in the broiler for 1 minute.
  • Take pan out of broiler, let it cool and set in pan for 5 minutes. When cool invert a plate on top of pan and turn over. Slice and serve.

2 small cloves garlic
Olive oil, for sauteing
1 medium zucchini
1/2 bunch basil
8 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the eggs, add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet sauté the zucchini in 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat, stirring until it is softened and transfer it with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and in it cook the onion and the bell pepper with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic and the thyme and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the zucchini, pour in the egg mixture, and arrange the zucchini blossoms decoratively on the surface.
  • Preheat the broiler. Cook the frittata over moderate heat, without stirring, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over the top. (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Broil the frittata under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, run a thin knife around the edge, and slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Cut the frittata into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature.

12 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 medium zucchini, rinsed and cut into 2-inch-long julienne strips (about 3 cups)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
6 to 8 zucchini blossoms, pistils removed if desired

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
