Ingredients
4 servings
- 2+ 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 green zucchine, finely sliced
- 6 to 8 eggs
- salt and pepper
Preparation
Preparing the Zucchine
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add onion and zucchine, salt lightly and saute until the zucchine are soft and the onion becomes translucent.
- Don't overcook the zucchine: They have to be firm.
- Don't burn the onion, or the frittata will assume a bitter taste.
- If the vegetables are not ready but the bottom of the pan is dry, add 1 tablespoon of water.
Preparing the Fritatta
- Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, until fully combined. Add salt and pepper.
When the vegetables are ready, pour the eggs in the skillet.
-When the egg starts to solidify, using a fork lightly scramble the center to let all the egg penetrate on the bottom. Shake lightly the pan back and forth to loosen the frittata and use a fork to loosen it from the edges of the pan. Lift the frittata to check that the bottom is cooked and golden
- Make sure the egg on the top is not too running, and then place on the pan a dish slightly larger than the pan.
- Rotate the pan and the dish together so that now the frittata is upside down on the dish.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet then slide the frittata back into the pan so that the uncooked face is now on the pan.
- Lift the frittata to check that the bottom is golden. Slide the frittata on a serving dish and serve warm.
