What you need:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5 medium size green zucchini (slice zucchini lengthwise into quarters and then coarsely dice)
- 1 chopped (white) onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 5 large eggs (ratio: 1 egg per zucchini)
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- Salt, Pepper, Italian Seasonings (to taste)
How to prepare:
- Sauté onion in olive oil; when onions become clear, add garlic and continue to sauté for a minute.
- Add zucchini and sauté until zucchini are soft (cover for fast cooking).
- Remove from heat In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- When zucchini mixture is cool, add to eggs.
- Then add the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs and mix.
- In oiled frying pan, place zucchini mixture and cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes firm.
- When the mixture reaches this stage, your frittata is half finished.
- Place a dinner plate over the pan and carefully invert the frittata, letting it slide back into the pan to cook the other side.
- When the frittata is golden brown and egg mixture congealed, slide onto a plate and serve warm (or cold).
Note:
If you do not wish to try to invert the frittata, you can put it under the broiler in the oven, until it is firm and golden in color; or if you travel to Italy, you may find a “GiraFrittata” — a “turn the frittata” pan for easy flipping.
