FRITTATA DI ZUCCHINE (ZUCCHINI FRITTATA)
Over 50 years ago, I was taught to make zucchini frittatas by my grandmother. This is her recipe, which I still use on a regular basis. You can adjust/substitute the herbs to your taste preference to make this recipe "your own". Served with a tossed green salad on the side, it makes a wonderful light dinner. Posted in answer to a request.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler (the one in your oven, not the BBQ grill).
- In a small frying pan over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Add the onion and dried thyme (if using it).
- Sauté until the onion wilts (about five minutes).
- Prepare the zucchini by cutting off the stems and blossom ends, cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut them crosswise into thin slices.
- Add the zucchini, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally (until tender but not mushy- about 10 to 12 minutes).
- Just before the zucchini slices are done, add the fresh thyme (if using it) and the basil OR parsley.
- Place the mixture in a colander to cool and allow excess water to drain out (about ten minutes).
- In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
- Beat in the salt, pepper, and cheese.
- Add the drained cooled zucchini and onion mixture.
- Pour the remaining two tablespoons olive oil in a flameproof 12-inch skillet or omelet pan and place over medium heat.
- When it is hot enough to make the eggs sizzle, pour in the egg mixture, making sure the zucchini mixture is distributed evenly.
- Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata gently until it is set (about 12-15 minutes).
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs.
- To finish cooking, slide the pan under the preheated broiler six inches from the heat until the top is golden (about 1-2 minutes more).
- Use a spatula to loosen the edges from the pan, slide the frittata out onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm or cold, cut into wedges.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA
When we travel by car, I make the frittata the night before, stuff it into pita bread in the morning and microwave for a minute or two before I wrap them in a towel so down the road we can enjoy a still-warm breakfast! -Carol Blumenberg, Lehigh Acres, Florida

SPANISH ZUCCHINI FRITTATA
This is a recipe that I found in Quick & Healthy by Brenda Ponichtera. It's a really great entree for lunch or dinner. It also makes a great breakfast. When made using Egg Beaters, this recipe is only 1 point per serving. When made with regular eggs, it is 2 points per serving.

Steps:
- Bring the potatoes with enough cold water to cover to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, over medium-high heat, until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes; drain and pat dry.
- Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cilantro, salt, and hot sauce in a large bowl.
- Preheat the oven broiler to medium-high.
- Heat the oil in a medium (10-inch) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 2 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until tender, about 6 minutes more. Add the cooked potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown slightly, about 4 minutes more.
- Evenly pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture. Cook, over medium heat, tilting the pan and lifting the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath. Sprinkle with the cheese and the bacon, if using. Broil, 5 to 7 inches from the heat, until the eggs puff and are just set and the cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove carefully to a plate, or serve in wedges directly from the skillet.

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.
