ROASTED VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, salt and pepper until combined. Preheat the oven to the broiler setting.
• Add the olive oil to an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the eggs and vegetables. Let them cook, undisturbed, until the edges are set, about 2 minutes. Slip an offset spatula (a butter knife will work, too) under the sides and tilt the pan, to help the uncooked egg slide underneath. Repeat this all around the edge of the pan, until the top is wet but no longer runny.
• Place the skillet under the broiler, and cook until the top is golden and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye so it doesn't burn. Remove the pan from the oven. Cut into 6 wedges, and serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the eggplant, zucchini, squash, and tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet or baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Roast until the vegetables are soft and pliable, about 20 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle transfer them to a cutting board and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, crushed red pepper and season with salt, to taste. Saute until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and season again with salt, if needed. Cook until the peppers are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the roasted vegetables to the pan along with the vinegar, marjoram, and thyme. Toss well to coat and add 2 to 3 more tablespoons olive oil, if needed. Taste to check the seasoning and transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Voila!

MORE-VEGETABLE-THAN-EGG FRITTATA (MARK BITTMAN)

Steps:

• Put olive oil or butter in a skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) and turn heat to medium. When fat is hot, add onion, if using, and cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until it is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetables, raise heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust heat so vegetables brown a little without scorching. (With precooked vegetables, just add them to onions and stir before proceeding.).
• When vegetables are nearly done, turn heat to low and add herb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs with some salt and pepper, along with cheese if you are using it. Pour over vegetables, distributing them evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until eggs are barely set, 10 minutes or so; run pan under broiler for a minute or 2 if top does not set. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
