Squash Blossom Frittata Recipes

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 cup bread cubes in 1/2 cup milk, 5 minutes. Whisk with 4 eggs, and salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup each chopped parsley and grated parmesan, 6 chopped stemmed squash blossoms, 1 grated garlic clove and 1 shredded yellow squash. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet; add the egg mixture and cook 5 minutes, then bake at 375 degrees F until set, 20 minutes. Cut into pieces.

Steps:

• Saute onion in olive oil in a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add cilantro and 3 sliced squash blossoms. Cook for 1 minute. Add eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Bake at 375 degrees until just set, about 10 minutes. Top with mozzarella and 3 squash blossoms. Return to oven until cheese melts and frittata is set, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to the high broil setting. Set a rack in the oven 3 to 4-inches from the broiler.
• In a medium bowl toss the sliced squash with the oil, rosemary, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Lay the squash in a single layer on a cooling rack set inside a foil lined half sheet pan. Broil until the squash is golden brown on 1 side, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk the eggs, ricotta, and Parmesan together in a medium mixing bowl. Put the squash in a 10-inch nonstick, oven-safe saute pan set over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a silicone spatula to make sure egg gets under the squash. Cook without stirring until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set on top, about 4 to 5 minutes. Put the pan under the broiler until lightly browned and puffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Loosen the frittata from the pan by moving a rubber spatula around the edges. Slide the frittata onto a plate or other serving dish, and cut into 6 servings. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the eggs, add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet sauté the zucchini in 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat, stirring until it is softened and transfer it with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and in it cook the onion and the bell pepper with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic and the thyme and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the zucchini, pour in the egg mixture, and arrange the zucchini blossoms decoratively on the surface.
• Preheat the broiler. Cook the frittata over moderate heat, without stirring, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over the top. (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Broil the frittata under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Let the frittata cool in the skillet for 5 minutes, run a thin knife around the edge, and slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Cut the frittata into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and parsley stems; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and salt; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir zucchini blossoms into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover skillet and cook until moisture evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Whisk parsley leaves, eggs, Parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano cheese, and mint together in a bowl. Fold in zucchini mixture from the skillet. Mix well; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Pour in egg mixture and spread evenly across the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes. Prick surface in several places with a fork. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover; let stand until top is just set, about 5 minutes.
• Invert frittata onto a large plate and slide back into the skillet. Cook over low heat until second side is set, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Pick 3 to 4 squash blossoms and 1 or 2 baby yellow or green summer squash per person: rinse blossoms well and drain on paper towels.
• Beat 4 eggs with a little milk; add fresh chopped parsley and chives, if using.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• In a nonstick pan, saute a little butter and cook 2 green onions and thinly sliced baby squash just until soft; then QUICKLY saute the blossoms for about 30 seconds and remove from pan.
• Pour egg mixture into pan(Skillet) that can be put under broiler, sprinkle and arrange the onions, squash and blossoms on top and cook over low to medium heat until almost set. Sprinkle with Asiago cheese and put under broiler until lightly puffed and browned, enjoy.
