Photo: Zucchini Frittata Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

This was very easy and flavorful. No garlic on hand, substituted 1 tbl of finely chopped red onion. I also did not broil the frittata, but placed it in a 400 degree oven for 15 - 20 mins. It soufled nicely and was a great for a Sunday brunch.

I loved the result, but I had lots of questions making this recipe. First I didn't have basil (froze the night before so I used cilantro. I had pecorino, not Parmesan. I had a medium zucchini, but was halving the recipe. I used it all anyway - what do you do with half a cut zucchini. I used an 8" saute pan. I minced the garlic and heated both the oil and garlic to medium high - I didn't want the whole clove in the finished product. The timings weren't right because I had more zucchini and I'm at 6100' altitude so sometimes things just take longer. I had to pull the egg mixture from the sides to let the excess egg run underneath. And I needed the saute pan to be closer to the broiler to get a light brown crust. I like recipes that give me measurements (cups, tablespoons or weights not medium zucchini and bunch of basil. My bunches vary seasonally and my idea of medium may not be your idea of medium!
