Zucchini Frittata

June 16, 2014 by Pilar Hernandez

Versión en español

Zucchini FrittataThis zucchini frittata?is delicious and very easy to do. I have already told you before I made the frittatas?on the stove over a low flame and then broil them?in the oven. I do?not flip them half-cooked because?I’m afraid to?break them.

If you like a more fluffy frittata:?separate the eggs and beat the egg whites and then incorporate them into the yolks and zucchinis mixture.?The frittata?was even better?reheated the next day.

This is a fantastic way to use the abundance of summer squashes and zucchinis during summer.

Zucchini Frittata

6 people
Ingredients:

  • 4 zucchini or summer squash
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper

Preparation:

  1. Grate the squashes, you can use a box grater or a food processor like I did.
  2. Place the grated squashes?on a clean kitchen towel, close and squeeze.
  3. In a large bowl mix the eggs, salt, and pepper and beat with a fork for 1 minute, until slightly foamy.
  4. Mix the beaten egg with squeezed grated squashes.
  5. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
  6. Add the squash?mixture and flatten slightly.
  7. Cook over medium-low heat for 30-35 minutes until the surface is almost 100% cooked. If you do not have experience touch the frittata?several times during cooking to learn to?recognize?the difference.
  8. Broil in the oven for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it.
  9. Cut and serve.
