Zucchini Parmesan Frittata Recipes

ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.

ZUCCHINI-PARMESAN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a 9-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini, and cook, stirring often, until zucchini is tender and brown in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons cheese and set aside. Whisk together the remaining cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour over vegetables in skillet, and cook, stirring gently, until eggs just begin to set, about 1 minute. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven, and bake until edges are set but the center is still slightly loose 5 to 6 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to broil, and broil until center is set and the top is lightly browned about 2 minutes. Serve topped with reserved Parmesan and parsley.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

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.
