ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and preheat the broiler.
• Over medium heat, heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick oven-proof pan. You can also use a cast iron pan.
• Add the finely minced french shallot and saute for 3-4 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Add the shredded zucchini and the chopped red pepper. Spread in a single layer and saute for 5-7 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. The total time depends on the "wetness" of the zucchini.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat together the eggs, 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, ricotta, basil, oregano, salt and pepper with a fork. Do not overbeat.
• When the vegetables are tender, pour this egg mixture over them in the pan and stir gently to combine.
• As the mixture begins to set and the bottom firms up, use a spatula or wooden spoon to lift the edge closest to you and allow the uncooked egg mixture to run underneath. Tilt the pan as you do this.
• Continue in this fashion until the top is no longer runny and the egg mixture is almost set. It should begin to pull away from the sides.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated cheese evenly over the top.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven.
• Broil for about 2-4 minutes until the center is set, dry to the touch and has just a little jiggle to it. It should be lightly browned.
• Let stand a few minutes then run a spatula around the edge and slide gently to a serving plate.
• Slice into wedges and serve it hot, at room temperature or cold.
• Optional: Garnish with extra basil or sliced green onions.

ZUCCHINI AND RICOTTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat grill on medium-high. Whisk the egg and garlic together in a large bowl. Gently fold in the zucchini and ricotta, and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a 20cm-diameter non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the zucchini mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes or until frittata is set around the edge but still runny in the centre.
• Cook under preheated grill, about 6cm from the heat source, for 2 minutes or until golden brown and just set. Remove from grill and cut the frittata into 8 wedges and place on serving plates.
• Divide tomatoes among serving plates and sprinkle with basil. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI & RICOTTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 20cm ovenproof frypan over medium-high heat. Fry the zucchini, in 2 batches, for 2 minutes or until it starts to soften.
• Add the garlic and half the basil and season well with salt and pepper. Cook for a further 30 seconds unti fragrant. Don't overcook the vegetables, as you want them to have some bite. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Heat remaining oil in the same frypan over medium heat. Swirl oil around in the pan to coat the sides. when the pan is hot, add half the beaten egg, reduce the heat to low and cook for 1-2 minutes until set around the edges. Scatter over zucchini, then crumble over half the ricotta and scatter with half the chopped mint. Add the remaining egg and dot the top with remaining ricotta and the pecorino.
• Transfer the frypan to the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the egg is set and the cheese is melting.
• Remove the pan from the grill, then use a spatula to loosen the edges of the frittata from the pan. Gently ease the fritatta onto a large warmed plate or on a board. Scatter over the remaining chopped mint and some extra pecorino shavings, then serve with a rocket salad, if desired.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Start by crushing some garlic and heating it in some olive oil in a medium nonstick saute pan on the stove. While that is heating up, very thinly slice the zucchini on a mandoline. When the oil and garlic are heated, tear some basil into the pan and add all the sliced zucchini. Cook until the zucchini is tender, but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Blend eggs in a blender with a little bit of milk and some salt and pepper. Blend on the highest speed.
• Pour the egg mixture into saute pan and let it sit for 1 minute. When there isn't much loose egg left in the pan, grate some Parmesan on top and place pan in the broiler for 1 minute.
• Take pan out of broiler, let it cool and set in pan for 5 minutes. When cool invert a plate on top of pan and turn over. Slice and serve.
