Recipe Details
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 216kcal
Ingredients
- 5 medium (about 1½ pounds total) zucchini or yellow squash, in any combination
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 medium shallots or green onions, including green tops, chopped
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
- ½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
Instructions
- Trim ends off the 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.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the squash and sauté until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Add 1 teaspoon 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.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the Parmesan and pepper. Heat the remaining 5 teaspoons 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, Gruyère, basil and parsley. Slip under the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- 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.
