Zucchini And Ricotta Frittata Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-by-18-by-1-inch sheet pan with olive oil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute for 5 minutes, until it begins to brown. Add the leeks and saute for 5 minutes, until tender. Add the zucchini and thyme and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir in two-thirds of the Gruyere and the basil.
• Pour the zucchini mixture in an even, well distributed layer into the prepared sheet pan. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining Gruyere. Shake the pan to evenly distribute the egg mixture. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and just set in the center. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Cut the frittata into 30 equal size squares, sprinkle with salt, garnish with the julienned basil and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch pan over medium heat. Add the oil. Saute the leeks until soft. Add the squash, zucchini, and potatoes. Cook until the vegetables soften about 5 to 7 minutes.
• In a bowl whip eggs and half and half; stir in ricotta. Add the Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper. Brush a new pan lightly with oil and place over medium heat. Add the egg mixture, then tomatoes, followed by softened squash potato mix. Cook until the eggs are firm.

Steps:

• Preheat grill on medium-high. Whisk the egg and garlic together in a large bowl. Gently fold in the zucchini and ricotta, and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a 20cm-diameter non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the zucchini mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes or until frittata is set around the edge but still runny in the centre.
• Cook under preheated grill, about 6cm from the heat source, for 2 minutes or until golden brown and just set. Remove from grill and cut the frittata into 8 wedges and place on serving plates.
• Divide tomatoes among serving plates and sprinkle with basil. Serve immediately.
