Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
3 medium zucchini, (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup shredded shredded white cheddar
3 medium (1 pound) vine ripe tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Add onion, zucchini, and thyme; cook, covered, stirring often, until tender but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover, and cook until all the liquid in the pan evaporates. Season with salt and pepper; remove skillet from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over zucchini, gently lifting zucchini to allow eggs to coat bottom of pan. Arrange tomatoes in an overlapping pattern on top.
  • Return skillet to medium-low heat, and cook until sides are set yet still slightly runny on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Place in oven, and cook until the center is cooked through when tested with a wooden skewer, and the tomatoes are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; gently slide a heatproof spatula around the edges and underneath to loosen from skillet. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI TOMATO PASTA FRITTATA



Zucchini Tomato Pasta Frittata image

Although the original recipe did not call for garlic, I like to add in about 1/2 tablespoon in when frying the veggies, but that is only optional of coarse. This makes a wonderful light dinner served with a side salad. If desired you can even throw in just a little cubed cooked ham or cooked bacon, but not too much as there won't be enough room for the frittata to fit into the pan. This is very good, and a great way to use up any leftover spaghetti or linguine pasta.
