Cheezy Zucchini And Pasta Frittata Recipe 455

PERFECT FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI AND PROVOLONE

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.

CHEEZY ZUCCHINI AND PASTA FRITTATA RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• BATTER Place all the ingredients, except for the milk, in your food processor, and process for 1 minute or so - then add your milk a little at a time. The consistency of the batter must be thick. ASSEMBLING THE DISH 1.Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan, and fry the grated zucchini, until they get a little color. It's possible they will yield their juices, but the juice will evaporate as you fry away. Keep turning them around - 5 minutes . Then remove and set aside in a bowl. 2.Next, add some more oil to the pan, heat it and then add your drained cut up spaghetti. Allow to sit in the pan for a while about 2 minutes or so - then turn it around so that the spaghetti begins to take some color. When it's turned a little light golden, as you continue to mix, at this point you can add the batter to it, spreading it with a spatula as best you can on the surface. It will not look a pretty sight at this point, but don't take that too seriously. 3.Allow the frittata to begin to solidify a little, and using a metal spatula, add the zucchini on top, again spreading them as evenly as you can. Gently push the edges, add a little salt, and then transfer the frittata to a well-greased round oven dish, about 8 inches across . Even it out gently with a fork, pour some olive oil on top, and place it in a hot 400ºF for half an hour, or until golden

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat a broiler with a rack set about 6 inches below the heat. Meanwhile, place a 10-inch broiler-safe skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the zucchini and shake or stir the pan until it is lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. As it cooks, add the herbs, rubbing between your fingers as you sprinkle them.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and egg white with a fork until foamy. Add 2 tablespoons of the cheese and beat until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, using salt sparingly because the Parmesan is salty.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini and continue to cook over medium-low heat until solidified, about 3 minutes. Gently shake the pan, making sure the eggs coat the zucchini. If desired, use a spatula to lift the edge and let the uncooked eggs run underneath.
• Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon cheese, or more if desired. Put the pan under a broiler and broil until the whole frittata is lightly puffed and lightly browned on the surface, about 2 minutes. Cut into quarters and serve.
