Ingredients

  • 1 pound small yellow crookneck, trimmed and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2-ounce grated Parmesan

Directions

Heat the oven to the high broil setting. Set a rack in the oven 3 to 4-inches from the broiler.

In a medium bowl toss the sliced squash with the oil, rosemary, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Lay the squash in a single layer on a cooling rack set inside a foil lined half sheet pan. Broil until the squash is golden brown on 1 side, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Whisk the eggs, ricotta, and Parmesan together in a medium mixing bowl. Put the squash in a 10-inch nonstick, oven-safe saute pan set over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a silicone spatula to make sure egg gets under the squash. Cook without stirring until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set on top, about 4 to 5 minutes. Put the pan under the broiler until lightly browned and puffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Loosen the frittata from the pan by moving a rubber spatula around the edges. Slide the frittata onto a plate or other serving dish, and cut into 6 servings. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    I saw this recipe and thought this would be a perfect way to use up some of the squash in our garden. However, I'm trying to stay away from dairy, so I substituted soft tofu in place of the ricotta cheese and it worked out perfect. A fun and easy recipe to make, and if you're only cooking for two, you'll have left overs for later!

    Delish..My normally fussy children about egg bakes loved it. Broiling the squash and the seasonings are awesome. The kids eat the squash before I can get the frittata made, so make extra.
