Frittata With Zucchini Goat Cheese And Dill Recipes

GOAT CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND CARAMELIZED ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• For the Onions:
• Remove the shoot and base of the onions. Peel off the onion skin and cut the onions from pole to pole.
• Cut the onion into 1/4-inch slices. Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat, then add the onions and season with the salt.
• Cook until the onions begin to wilt, about 30 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir every few minutes as the onions reduce in size.
• If necessary, deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar or water.
• Continue cooking until the onions are dark brown. Turn off the heat and scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Allow the onions to cool.
• For the Frittata:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, add the eggs, milk, and salt and mix to combine.
• Remove the paper from the prosciutto and stack the slices. Chop the prosciutto into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Add the butter to an oven-safe 10-inch pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the olive oil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the eggs start to set, about 10 minutes, add the Parmesan and prosciutto. Stir gently and dot the top with the goat cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the frittata is set and the goat cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the sides of the pan. Slide it onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Arrange the wedges on a serving platter and top with caramelized onions and thyme leaves before serving.

ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the zucchini lengthwise in half and cut each half into very thin half moon shapes. Melt the butter in a large (preferably nonstick) skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and then add the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook just until slightly tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Spread the onion and zucchini evenly over the bottom of the pan and top with the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and allow it to cook until just starting to set at edges. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top, and put it in the oven until golden on top, about 3 to 5 minutes. Slightly cool the frittata in the pan before slicing. Serve it from the pan or invert it onto a plate, then slice and serve.

FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI, GOAT CHEESE AND DILL

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring, until the zucchini begins to wilt, about two minutes. Stir in the garlic. Cook for another minute or until the zucchini has just wilted - it should still be bright green. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the goat cheese. Add salt and pepper, and stir in the zucchini and the dill.
• Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should have a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, and shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking. Allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 teaspoons of the salt. Set aside.
• In the deep half of a frittata pan over medium heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter. When it foams, add the zucchini and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt. Sauté for 30 seconds. Add the oregano and the 2 teaspoons parsley and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the eggs and, using a rubber spatula, quickly and lightly stir the eggs in a small circular motion to combine them with the zucchini. Using the spatula, gently lift the cooked edges to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Sprinkle the cheese on the frittata; do not stir. Reduce the heat to low and cook, without stirring, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, in the shallow half of the frittata pan over medium heat, melt the remaining 1/2 Tbs. butter. Place the shallow pan upside down on top of the deep pan and flip the frittata into the shallow pan. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 3 minutes. Remove the top pan and continue cooking until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes more.
• Using the spatula, loosen the edges of the frittata and gently slide it onto a plate. Garnish the frittata with parsley. Serve with the arugula salad. Serves 8 to 10.

SPINACH-ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in spinach, scallions, and zucchini. Saute until zucchini has softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze vegetables to remove as much moisture as possible. Allow to cool.
• Meanwhile whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, oregano, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in cooled vegetables. Pour egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and the top is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool. Cut into 8 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
