How to Make Zucchini and Tomato Frittata

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper (to taste).
2. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

1. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Combine and Cook

1. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
2. Reduce the heat to low and let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 5: Bake

1. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and the center is set.
2. To add a golden top, place the skillet under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 6: Serve

1. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes.
2. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and slice into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Frittata

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh zucchini, tomatoes, and herbs make all the difference in flavor.
• Avoid Overmixing the Eggs: Gently whisk the eggs to keep the frittata light and fluffy.
• Check for Doneness: The frittata is done when the center is just set and no longer jiggly.
• Grease the Pan Well: Ensure your skillet is nonstick or well-greased to prevent sticking.

Variations

• Add Protein: Include cooked bacon, sausage, or shredded chicken for a heartier dish.
• Switch the Vegetables: Try spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or asparagus.
• Cheese Swap: Use feta, goat cheese, or cheddar instead of mozzarella and Parmesan.
• Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for some heat.

What to Serve with Zucchini and Tomato Frittata

• Side Salad: Pair with a simple green salad for a light meal.
• Crusty Bread: Serve with warm bread or toast for a complete breakfast.
• Fresh Fruit: A bowl of berries or melon balances the savory flavors.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm slices in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat.
• Freeze: Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make this frittata dairy-free?

Yes! Use a non-dairy milk and skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
