Zucchini Red Pepper Leek Frittata Food

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.

• Let it cook for a few seconds, until it begins to bubble, and then use a spatula to pull the sides in and spread the uncooked egg over the bottom of the pan, as if cooking an omelet.
• When this is nearly cooked, add steamed vegetables to pan.
• Evenly pour in the remaining half of the egg substitute, and sprinkle on the remaining thyme and black pepper.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until egg is firm.

BELL PEPPER AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a 9-inch non-stick skillet cook the onion, the zucchini, and the peppers with salt and black pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• In a bowl whisk together the eggs, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and the parsley (or cilantro), add the vegetable mixture, and stir the mixture until it is combined well.
• In the skillet heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, pour in the egg mixture, distributing the vegetables evenly, and cook the frittata, without stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan over the top.
• (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Broil the frittata under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden, let it cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, and run a knife around the edge.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving plate, cut it into wedges, and serve it warm or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!

ZUCCHINI, RED PEPPER AND FETA FRITTATA

• In a large non-stick ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat; cook the onion, zucchini and garlic, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes or until softened.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper; stir in the red pepper and dill.
• Pour into the skillet; reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Sprinkle with the feta and olives; cook for 10 minutes or until the bottom and side are firm yet the top is still slightly runny.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and set.
• Cut into wedges.

FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until a nice color is achieved, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
• Beat together the eggs with some salt and pepper in a bowl. (Do not over-beat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together.) Stir in the Monterey Jack, Parmesan and hot sauce and set aside.
• In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown, several minutes. Add the diced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to cook for a couple of minutes. Finally, add the asparagus, mushrooms, olives and roasted red peppers and cook, stirring, until everything is hot.
• Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven. Cook, watching it carefully, until the eggs are set but not very brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Sprinkle on the basil and slice into wedges with a long serrated knife.
