Star Created with Sketch. 5/5 - 65 Ratings PRINT Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 40 minutes Serving Yield 4 servings Zucchini grows like a weed in late summer, but the beauty of this versatile squash is that you don't have to search high and low to find it any time of year. When browned in butter or olive oil, diced zucchini takes on a nutty flavor that shines in this caramelized zucchini frittata, which is topped with a bubbling layer of cheddar cheese and fresh basil for garnish. By: Naturally Ella Ingredients For the filling: 1/2 medium onion (174g) 1 medium zucchini (340g) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil 1/4 teaspoon sea salt For the frittata: 6 large (300g) Pete and Gerry Organic Eggs 1/2 cup (113g) whole milk (see notes) 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 ounces (57g) cheddar cheese, shredded Freshly ground black pepper, for garnish 1 handful fresh basil, julienned, for garnish Nutritional Information Servings: 4 Amount Per Serving: Calories 250, Fat Cal. 170, Total Fat 19g (29% DV), Sat.

Mince the onion and finely dice the zucchini into 1/4” cubes. Step 2 Heat an 8” oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or olive oil followed by the onions, zucchini, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini and onions are tender, browned, and cooked down. If you find the mixture starts to scorch, lower the heat slightly. Step 3 While the vegetables cook, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Once the vegetables are ready, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Swirl the eggs around the pan and use a spatula to loosen any zucchini or onion stuck to the bottom. Cook for a few minutes until the bottom of the frittata is set, but the top is still wet. Step 4 Sprinkle cheese on top of the frittata and transfer to the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top of the frittata is puffed up and golden. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and basil before serving. Farm Team Tips: When fresh herbs like basil are baked into a dish, that herbaceous flavor tends to get lost. To really highlight the fresh basil (or any other herb of your choosing), we recommend sprinkling the it over the top of the frittata right before serving rather than mixing it in with the filling. This frittata works great with heavy cream! If using cream in place of milk, use 1/3 cup. Rate this Recipe Share this Recipe How much did you enjoy this recipe? How much did you enjoy this recipe?

So I cut eggs and milk in half. Yumm Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] September 29, 2020 Yum! A great way to use leftovers, for sure! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Shannon September 28, 2020 Has anyone tried this delicious looking recipe with almond milk? Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] September 28, 2020 Hi Shannon, we have not tried this but you would probably be okay making that substitution. The only thing with almond milk is that it has a lower fat content than whole milk so the eggs might not end up quite so fluffy. Still delicious nonetheless. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch.

Marcia Bauchle September 19, 2020 We've really been enjoying this fritatta this summer. The first time we had it my hubby liked it ok. The second time we had it I added 2 ears of fresh picked sweet corn cut off the cob and added to the sauteed veggies. I also used a Costata Romanesca zucchini squash. Then he REALLY liked it! It filled you fuller longer than without the corn. Everything in it except the butter was raised on our farm. That makes it even better.
