Courgette Frittata Recipes

COURGETTE, POTATO & MINT FRITTATA

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 6 mins or until just cooked, then drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a large, deep, ovenproof frying pan and fry the courgettes for 4-5 mins until golden. Tip in the potatoes and fry for 1 min with the courgettes.
• In a bowl, beat together the eggs and mint, then season. Pour into the frying pan and stir briefly. Cook for 5 mins over low heat. Crumble over the cheese and finish under a hot grill for 5 mins, until the eggs are just set and the cheese is browned. Cut into wedges and serve.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

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.

COURGETTE FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7, then put an empty muffin tin inside. Coarsely grate 1 large or 2 small courgettes and slice 4 spring onions. Heat 2 tsp rapeseed oil in a frying pan and fry the spring onions for about 3 mins. Stir in 1 crushed garlic clove and the grated courgette and cook for another 1 min, then set aside to cool.
• Beat 3 large eggs, a good pinch dill fronds and 4 tbsp Greek yogurt together in a jug, then season. Stir in the courgette mixture. Take the muffin tin out of the oven and drop in eight muffin cases, divide the egg mixture between the cases and bake for 15-18 mins until set and golden. Serve hot or cold with salad.

COURGETTE FRITTATA

ZUCCHINI FLOWER FRITTATA RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the potato into small cubes. I used organic yellow gold potatoes so I left the skin on. If not using organic, peel the potato first.
• Put the extra virgin olive oil in an 8″ non-stick pan (note: I linked to the 11″ CS+ pan which is the one I prefer, but Amazon doesn't currently have the 8″ skillet). These are truly the best and safest non-stick pans I've ever used.
• Meanwhile, cut the flowers into large pieces.
• Then beat the eggs with a whisk. You can add a splash of water if you like; it will make the frittata a little lighter. Add 1/2 tsp of Kosher or sea salt.
• Next, add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano (or Pecorino Romano) cheese. If you don't have the real thing, just omit the cheese.
• When the the potatoes are ready, lower the burner to medium and sprinkle with a little salt.
• Sprinkle the zucchini flower pieces over the potatoes. I didn't have as many blossoms as I wanted so feel free to load it up if you do. They are much like spinach: it looks like a huge amount, but when cooked, goes down to nothing.
• Stir in the flowers, then pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes and blossom pieces.
• Tip the pan to swirl the egg around evenly, then use the spatula or a wooden spoon to move the bottom of the frittata around to allow the raw egg to reach the bottom. This helps it to cook more on one side so there's less of a mess when you flip it.
• Turn the entire pan 180 at one point, so if your burner cooks unevenly, it will help even the cooking process. When most of the egg is cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
• Place a plate over the top, and with your hand firmly on top, flip the frittata carefully, but quickly.
• Return the frittata to the pan and put back on the heat. Cook for another 2 minutes or so and serve immediately, although this can also be served at room temperature, or even cold.

ZUCCHINI OVEN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet or sauce pan, combine water, olive oil, salt, green pepper, zucchini and garlic cloves. Simmer until zucchini is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Drain off water and discard garlic. Stir in onion, mushrooms and butter. Cook until onion is transparent. Add eggs and stir; season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat until eggs are firm.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over eggs. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place under broiler for 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
