Squash and Tomato Oven Frittata

 

Great brunch option...
 

5 medium 

 

zucchini or yellow squash, in any combination (about 1½ lbs. total)

 

1 tsp 

 

salt

 

3 Tbs 

 

olive oil, divided

 

2 medium 

 

shallots or green onions, including green tops, chopped

 

1 clove 

 

garlic, minced

 

2 medium 

 

Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

 

6 large 

 

eggs

 

2 Tbs 

 

freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese

 

 

 

freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

1 Tbs 

 

minced fresh oregano or ¾ tsp. dried oregano

 

½ cup 

 

(2 ounces) shredded Jarlsberg or Gruyère cheese

 

3 Tbs 

 

minced fresh basil

 

2 Tbs 

 

minced fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley

 

 

1

Trim squash and slice very thinly, about ¼-inch thick. Transfer to a colander, sprinkle with the salt, and set aside to drain for 15 to 20 minutes; rinse and pat dry.

2

In a large skillet, heat 1 T. of the oil over medium heat. Add squash and sauté until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Add 1 tsp. of the oil to the skillet and sauté the shallots and garlic for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook until heated through; transfer to a plate and set aside.

3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the Parmesan and pepper. Heat the remaining 5 tsp. oil in the skillet over medium heat, spread the squash over the pan bottom, and sprinkle with the oregano. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until set, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Top the frittata with the tomato mixture, Jarlsberg, basil and parsley. Slip under the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.

4

Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

 

Servings: 6
 

 Cooking Tips

*To seed a tomato, cut it in half crosswise, then lightly squeeze and shake it to dislodge the seeds. Use a finger, if needed, to help dislodge the seed sacs.
