Zucchini Frittata
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup diced zucchini (1 small)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup slivered fresh mint
1/4 cup slivered fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
Freshly ground pepper to taste
5 large eggs
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese (2 ounces)
1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over
medium heat. Add zucchini and onion; cook, stirring often,
for 1 minute. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook,
stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, but not
mushy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes, mint, basil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding
of pepper; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring,
until the moisture has evaporated, 30 to 60 seconds.
2. Whisk eggs, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding of
pepper in a large bowl until blended. Add the zucchini
mixture and cheese; stir to combine.
3. Preheat the broiler.
4. Wipe out the pan and brush it with the remaining 2 teaspoons
oil; place over medium-low heat. Add the frittata mixture and
cook, without stirring, until the bottom is light golden, 2
to 4 minutes.
As it cooks, lift the edges and tilt the pan so uncooked egg
will flow to the edges.
5. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the frittata
is set and the top is golden, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Loosen
the edges and slide onto a plate.
Cut into wedges and serve.
