ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the zucchini lengthwise in half and cut each half into very thin half moon shapes. Melt the butter in a large (preferably nonstick) skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and then add the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook just until slightly tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Spread the onion and zucchini evenly over the bottom of the pan and top with the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and allow it to cook until just starting to set at edges. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top, and put it in the oven until golden on top, about 3 to 5 minutes. Slightly cool the frittata in the pan before slicing. Serve it from the pan or invert it onto a plate, then slice and serve.

SPINACH, BACON, AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or preheat the broiler to medium-high. Heat the oil in a 9-inch nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and saute until golden, then remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallots to the pan, lower the heat, and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until soft but not colored. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, then remove from the heat.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then stir in the pancetta or bacon, spinach and shallots, grated cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Put the frying pan back over low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook gently, without stirring, letting the eggs set slowly from the bottom up. After about 5 minutes, give the pan a little shake: the bottom half of the frittata should be set, with a layer of wet egg still on top.
• Dot the goat cheese over the top. If you're baking the frittata, place it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until just set. Or put the frittata under the broiler, ideally not too close to the heat, for about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly (or completely) before slicing and serving.

SPINACH-ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in spinach, scallions, and zucchini. Saute until zucchini has softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze vegetables to remove as much moisture as possible. Allow to cool.
• Meanwhile whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, oregano, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in cooled vegetables. Pour egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and the top is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool. Cut into 8 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
