CAULIFLOWER AND TOMATO FRITTATA WITH FETA
Cauliflower, tomatoes and feta are always a good combination. This being a winter frittata, I used canned tomatoes for the sauce, but in summer the same dish can be made with fresh tomatoes. Make sure to cook the sauce down until it is quite pasty. If it is too watery it will dilute the eggs and the texture of the frittata will be a bit watery. Even better, make the tomato sauce a day ahead and keep uncovered in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to smell fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with liquid, sugar, salt and basil sprig or thyme. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant, dry sauce, about 20 minutes. Remove basil sprig. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- While sauce is simmering, steam cauliflower 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Add to tomato sauce and break up into small pieces with the back of your spoon. If possible, refrigerate uncovered overnight or for a few hours.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, tomato sauce with cauliflower, feta, optional olives and herbs.
- Clean and dry skillet and return to heat. Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl pan to distribute eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up edges of frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let eggs run underneath during first few minutes of cooking.
- Once a few layers of egg have set, turn heat down to very low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 to 15 minutes, shaking pan gently every once in a while and lifting up the frittata and tilting the pan to let egg run underneath. Frittata should be just about set, except for the top.
- Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Uncover pan and place under broiler, not too closeto heat, for 1 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown in spots and puff under the broiler). Remove from heat, shake pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. Loosen edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or cold.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Whisk the eggs, milk and cayenne together in a bowl; add 1 teaspoon Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Fold in the cheese and dill.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an ovenproof 6- or 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, swirling to coat the pan. Add the cauliflower, 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt and pepper to taste; cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir gently with a rubber spatula to distribute the filling. Cook until the bottom is just set but not brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is almost set on top, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover and set aside for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
- Season the greens with salt and pepper and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the vinegar. Slide the frittata onto a cutting board and slice into wedges. Sprinkle generously with more dill; serve warm or at room temperature with the salad.
Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Before you start cooking, wash and chop your cauliflower and zucchini. This will save you time and hassle later on.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give your frittata plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the frittata will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each piece of vegetable.
- Cook over medium heat: Medium heat will help the frittata cook through without burning.
- Cover the skillet: Covering the skillet will help the frittata cook more evenly.
- Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the vegetables are tender. Overcooking will make the frittata dry and tough.
