SUMMER VEGETABLE FRITTATA
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Whisk together eggs, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Cook prosciutto in oil in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until edges begin to crisp, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini and chard and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, about 8 minutes. Add scallions and zucchini blossoms and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour egg mixture into skillet and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge using a spatula to let as much raw egg as possible flow underneath, until edge is set, about 2 minutes (top and center will still be very loose). Sprinkle cheese evenly over top.
- Broil frittata about 6 inches from heat until set, slightly puffed, and golden, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
- Cool frittata 5 minutes, then loosen edge with a clean spatula and slide onto a large plate. Cut into wedges.
- *Available at many farmers markets and specialty produce markets.

SUMMER SQUASH FRITTATA
Nice light meal for summer that uses fresh veggies, and is easy to put together. It is really a meal in itself, but you could always add some fresh french bread & herb butter to go with it.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables: This will ensure that your frittata is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help prevent the bottom from burning.
- Don't flip the frittata: Frittatas are cooked on one side only. Flipping it will only make it fall apart.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help it hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Frittatas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a frittata recipe that everyone will love.
