Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small cloves garlic
Olive oil, for sauteing
1 medium zucchini
1/2 bunch basil
8 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Start by crushing some garlic and heating it in some olive oil in a medium nonstick saute pan on the stove. While that is heating up, very thinly slice the zucchini on a mandoline. 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.
  • Take pan out of broiler, let it cool and set in pan for 5 minutes. When cool invert a plate on top of pan and turn over. Slice and serve.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 large eggs
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small zucchini (about 6 ounces), grated and squeezed dry in clean kitchen towel
1/2 cup queso fresco (2 ounces)
2 strips cooked crumbled turkey bacon, optional

Steps:

  • Bring the potatoes with enough cold water to cover to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, over medium-high heat, until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain and pat dry.
  • Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cilantro, salt, and hot sauce in a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven broiler to medium-high.
  • Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 2 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until tender, about 6 minutes more. Add the cooked potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown slightly, about 4 minutes more.
  • Evenly pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture. Cook, over medium heat, tilting the pan and lifting the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath. Sprinkle with the cheese and the bacon, if using. Broil, 5 to 7 inches from the heat, until the eggs puff and are just set and the cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove carefully to a plate, or serve in wedges directly from the skillet.

Provided by Sonya01

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 47m

Yield 12 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 10

melted butter, to grease
2 teaspoons light olive oil
80 g grated green zucchini (1/2 cup, firmly packed)
60 g grated carrots (1/2 cup, firmly packed)
50 g grated parsnips (1/2 cup, firmly packed)
2 green shallots, ends trimmed, finely chopped
3 eggs, lightly whisked
40 g coarsely grated jarlsberg cheese or 40 g tasty cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon plain flour, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C Brush a shallow, square 18.5cm (base measurement) cake pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and 2 opposite sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing it to overhang.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the zucchini, carrot, parsnip and shallots, and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables soften. Remove from heat and set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
  • Combine vegetable mixture, egg, cheese, parsley and flour in a large bowl and stir until well combined.
  • Spoon vegetable mixture into prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in oven for 12 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Lift frittata from pan and place on a plate to cool completely. Cut into 12 fingers to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pan: Use a non-stick skillet that is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients. This will help ensure that the frittata cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the vegetables and eggs so that they can cook properly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Don't flip the frittata: Frittatas are cooked in a single layer, so flipping them can cause them to fall apart.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

The carrot and zucchini frittata is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. It is packed with vegetables and protein, and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect frittata every time.
