Steps:
- Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Melt butter in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook until tender, 4 to 8 minutes. (This ensures that the vegetables are cooked and won't release extra moisture, which would make the frittata tough and watery.)
- Meanwhile, beat together eggs and milk with a fork (it gives you more speed and agility than a whisk here) until well combined. Stir in basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook over medium-high, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are wet on top but otherwise set throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with provolone, pressing about half down into eggs. Transfer to oven; broil until puffed and browning in spots and eggs are just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Frittata can be served hot or at room temperature.
FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI
A Frittata is an Italian way to use up leftover ingredients and to make a quick meal or snack. Unlike an American omelet, they're not usually eaten at breakfast. In fact, they are probably eaten more often as a snack or as a portable sandwich for a road trip or train ride. This one is made with zucchini from the garden; if yours have flowers - throw them in too!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in an 8- to-10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and zucchini and cook until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the milk. Add the Parmigiano and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until combined.
- When the zucchini have softened, remove the pan from the heat and add the zucchini to the eggs. Stir to combine.
- Add the butter to the same pan and swirl to melt. Add the egg and zucchini mixture and top with the torn zucchini flowers if using. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the frittata begin to brown and the center has set and is puffed slightly, about 8 minutes.
- To serve, turn the frittata out onto a cutting board top-side-up. Slice and eat with Tuscan bread.

BAKED PROVOLONE AND SAUSAGE FRITTATA
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly butter an 8-inch-square glass baking dish.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add the bell pepper, 2 cups of the cheese, and 1/4 cup parsley. Stir in the onion mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
- Slide the frittata onto a serving platter. Using a serrated knife, cut the frittata into wedges and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley before serving.
- Cook's Note
- To make individual servings, divide the batter among 4 buttered 8-ounce ramekins. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
Tips:
- Use a good quality non-stick skillet. This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easy to flip.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
- Don't flip the frittata too soon. Wait until the bottom is golden brown and the eggs are set around the edges.
- Be careful when flipping the frittata. Use a wide spatula and flip the frittata in one quick motion.
- Cook the frittata until the eggs are cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the center of the frittata; it should come out clean.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
Conclusion:
A frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese, and it's also a healthy and filling meal. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a perfect frittata every time.
