Ingredients
- 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 leaves
- 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese (2 ounces)
Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add zucchini and onion and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.
- Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, stirring occasionally until the zucchini is tender but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, mint, basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper
- Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring until moisture has evaporated approximately 30 to 60 seconds.
- Whisk eggs, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper in a large bowl until blended.
- Add the zucchini mixture and cheese and stir to combine. Wipe out the skillet.
- Preheat broiler.
- Brush the skillet with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and heat over medium-low heat.
- Pour in 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 raw egg will flow to the edges.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and broil until the frittata is set and the top is golden, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Loosen the edges and slide onto a platter.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
