FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI

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.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

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.

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.
