MEATBALL FRITTATA WITH MOZZARELLA AND TOMATOES
There may be no better way to stretch odds and ends around the kitchen than to make a frittata: there's no crust to fuss with, the eggy matrix can handle almost any savory inclusions, and the frittata itself can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large ovenproof and preferably nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring once or twice, until the tomato juices are viscous and glossy, about 2 minutes. Pour the tomatoes onto a plate, and use a silicone spatula to scrape any sticky tomato juices onto the plate as well.
- Whisk the eggs until well blended, then mix in the Parmigiano and basil. Season with salt and pepper. (Start with 3/4 teaspoon salt: you can cook up a spoonful of the mix to check the seasoning.)
- Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Place the meatballs in the pan, cut sides down if they have been halved. Evenly sprinkle in the tomatoes. Pour in the egg mixture, using a fork to evenly redistribute tomatoes or basil if necessary. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly across the pan. Cook until the edges of the frittata start to set, then use a silicone spatula to pull the cooked egg away from the sides of the pan a bit, letting the raw egg flow behind it. Repeat a few times and cook until the eggs are almost set in the perimeter of the pan, about 5 minutes.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake until the eggs are just set in the center and the frittata and the top is dappled with toasty brown patches, about 5 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1 minute to help set the top and to foster bubbly, toasted cheese bites.
- Remove the pan from the oven. The frittata is easiest to remove from the pan after resting 5 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath to loosen, then top with a large plate or pizza pan over the pan and invert the frittata onto it. Flip the frittata one more time onto a serving plate or cutting board so it is right side up. Serve with a green salad.
TOMATO FRITTATA TO GO
Pasta is just one destination for my summer marinara sauce. Stir it into beaten eggs and make this beautiful salmon-colored, intensely savory frittata that tastes terrific cold.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs in a bowl with the milk and salt and pepper to taste. Beat in the marinara sauce and the Parmesan.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
- If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Trim away the ends of the zucchini, and then cut lengthwise. Toss with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on baking sheet, cut side up. Broil until lightly browned, then turn and broil on the skin side until the zucchini are just tender. Transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise about 1/4-inch thick.
- Stir the zucchini and basil into the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a 10-inch flameproof nonstick skillet over moderate high heat. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. When skillet is hot, add the egg mixture. Let the eggs cook without stirring until they begin to set, then lift the edges with a spatula and let the uncooked eggs run underneath. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly cooked but still a little moist on top. Place the skillet under the broiler just until the surface of the frittata no longer moist, about 30 seconds, then sprinkle the cheese on top and broil again until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds longer. Slide the frittata onto a serving plate and let cool to room temperature.
- Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Brush the bread slices on both sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, place on baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and crisp.
- Cut the frittata into slices, place on warm slice of toast, place 1/2 slice of tomato on top of frittata, season with salt and pepper and chili flakes to taste, and cover with another piece of toast. Serve.
SOUTHERN TOMATO SANDWICH
Tastes like summer! Room temperature tomatoes are key here and once the salt and pepper hit them, the juices start flowing. When the juicy tomatoes blend in with the mayonnaise, it makes a delicious, creamy, slightly tangy, and flavorful sauce. The bread becomes slightly soggy, in the best way possible. The last bite is even better than the first!

With perfectly toasted, crisp bread, a slightly warm feta filling, and slices of juicy ripe tomato, this might be the best tomato sandwich I've ever had! The combo of briny feta and sweet tomatoes is amazing. Serve with chips and a cold glass of Pinot Grigio.
