Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 medium zucchini, rinsed and cut into 2-inch-long julienne strips (about 3 cups)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
6 to 8 zucchini blossoms, pistils removed if desired

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the eggs, add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet sauté the zucchini in 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat, stirring until it is softened and transfer it with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and in it cook the onion and the bell pepper with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic and the thyme and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the zucchini, pour in the egg mixture, and arrange the zucchini blossoms decoratively on the surface.
  • Preheat the broiler. Cook the frittata over moderate heat, without stirring, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over the top. (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Broil the frittata under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, run a thin knife around the edge, and slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Cut the frittata into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my frittata didn't turn out well. It was too dry and overcooked.

The frittata was a bit bland. I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This frittata is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the zucchini and blossoms, and they didn't even notice the eggs.

This recipe is a keeper! I've already made it twice, and it's been a hit both times. My family loves the combination of zucchini, blossoms, and eggs.

I didn't have any zucchini blossoms, so I used chopped zucchini instead. The frittata still turned out delicious, although I imagine it would have been even better with the blossoms.

This frittata is a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I had a few zucchinis that were starting to get soft, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I had never tried zucchini blossoms before, but I'm so glad I did in this recipe. They added a delicate and slightly sweet flavor to the frittata. I will definitely be using them again.

This zucchini frittata with blossoms was a delightful dish! The flavors of the zucchini and blossoms blended perfectly, and the eggs provided a rich and creamy texture. I especially enjoyed the crispy edges of the frittata.
