Mozzarella Basil & Zucchini Frittata
This vegetable-studded frittata recipe is one of the quickest meals you can make. Have it for breakfast, or serve it for lunch or dinner with a tossed salad and a slice of olive oil–drizzled crusty baguette.
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 ½ cups thinly sliced red onion
-
1 ½ cups chopped zucchini
-
7 large eggs, beaten
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-
⅔ cup pearl-size or baby fresh mozzarella balls (about 4 ounces)
-
3 tablespoons chopped soft sun-dried tomatoes
-
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
Description
-
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
-
Heat oil in a large broiler-safe nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the eggs over the vegetables in the pan. Cook, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg from the middle to flow underneath, until nearly set, about 2 minutes. Arrange mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes on top and place the skillet under the broiler until the eggs are slightly browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes. Top with basil.
-
To release the frittata from the pan, run a spatula around the edge, then underneath, until you can slide or lift it out onto a cutting board or serving plate. Cut into 4 slices and serve.
