Frittata Con Zucchine

Savor the delightful flavors of Frittata Con Zucchine, a classic Italian dish that beautifully showcases the marriage of fresh zucchini and rich Parmesan cheese. This rustic frittata, with its golden exterior and fluffy interior, is perfect for a leisurely breakfast, a light lunch, or an elegant dinner. Originating from the heart of Italy, frittatas are known for their versatility, often using seasonal vegetables and herbs to create a satisfying meal that speaks to the beauty of simple, wholesome ingredients. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, paired with a crisp salad or crusty bread for a truly Italian dining experience.

Ingredients

Zucchini
2 medium, sliced thinly
Eggs
6 large
Parmesan cheese
1 cup, grated
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
Fresh basil
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While this step is optional, it can help achieve a perfectly cooked frittata with a lovely golden top.
  2. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut them into thin slices, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced zucchini and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly golden. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed zucchini, ensuring that the zucchini slices are well-distributed throughout. Allow it to cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
  6. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown on top, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped basil for added flavor and a pop of color.
  8. Serve the Frittata Con Zucchine warm or at room temperature, enjoying it alongside a fresh salad or slices of crusty bread for a delightful meal.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider incorporating other vegetables such as bell peppers or onions.
  • 💡 You can also add herbs like oregano or thyme for an aromatic twist.
  • 💡 For a creamier texture, mix in a splash of heavy cream or milk with the eggs.
