EGG WHITE FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI, BLACK OLIVES, AND CHARD

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle zucchini pieces with fine sea salt and set aside on a cutting board or in a colander for about 30 minutes.
• Blot the zucchini with a towel, toss with enough olive oil to coat (about 1 Tbsp), and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast at 425 degrees F. for about 8 minutes; stir and roast another 5 to 8 minutes, until zucchini pieces are tender and slightly caramelized.
• Trim the chard by removing and discarding the stems. Cut the leaf blades into 1/2-inch ribbons.
• Bring about a quart of salted water to a boil in a wide skillet. Add the chard and simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, turning the leaves over occasionally with a spatula. Drain the chard and spread on a cutting board to cool. When it's cool, squeeze excess moisture from the chard.
• Saute the onion in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil until soft; add the garlic and oregano and saute another minute or so. Add the chard and olives, and cook for another couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the zucchini.
• In a bowl, blend the egg whites and coconut milk. (If using canned coconut milk, shake the can vigorously before opening to blend the contents.) Stir in the vegetables. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8 by 8 baking dish.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set.

MUSHROOM ZUCCHINI FRITATTA

• In a large skillet, saute the onion, zucchini and mushrooms in butter until tender; drain. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray., In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, mustards, salt and pepper; pour over vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and bread crumbs., Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until set. Let stand for 5 minutes.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat a broiler with a rack set about 6 inches below the heat. Meanwhile, place a 10-inch broiler-safe skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the zucchini and shake or stir the pan until it is lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. As it cooks, add the herbs, rubbing between your fingers as you sprinkle them.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and egg white with a fork until foamy. Add 2 tablespoons of the cheese and beat until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, using salt sparingly because the Parmesan is salty.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini and continue to cook over medium-low heat until solidified, about 3 minutes. Gently shake the pan, making sure the eggs coat the zucchini. If desired, use a spatula to lift the edge and let the uncooked eggs run underneath.
• Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon cheese, or more if desired. Put the pan under a broiler and broil until the whole frittata is lightly puffed and lightly browned on the surface, about 2 minutes. Cut into quarters and serve.

PERFECT FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI AND PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Melt butter in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook until tender, 4 to 8 minutes. (This ensures that the vegetables are cooked and won't release extra moisture, which would make the frittata tough and watery.)
• Meanwhile, beat together eggs and milk with a fork (it gives you more speed and agility than a whisk here) until well combined. Stir in basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook over medium-high, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are wet on top but otherwise set throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle with provolone, pressing about half down into eggs. Transfer to oven; broil until puffed and browning in spots and eggs are just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Frittata can be served hot or at room temperature.
