Zucchini Frittata

Description

Iraqi omelet. The difference is that the omelet is taller, you slice it like a pie, and you cook it in a smaller fry pan. I'm putting in parenthesis how I made this for my taste.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :10 Min

Cook Time : 10 Min

Total Time : 20 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 2
  • 1 olive oil


  • 1⁄4 onion


  • 2 zucchini


  • salt and pepper


  • 3 eggs


  • salt


  • basil

Directions

  • Heat oil in a small fry pan. (I used a small saucepan.).
  • Add onion; cook on low heat until translucent.
  • Add zucchini, (I only used 1 zucchini) salt and pepper. Do not overcook. Zucchini should still have crunch.
  • In a large bowl whisk eggs (I used 4 eggs ), and salt.
  • Add the zucchini mixture; mix. (I put in eggs then added onion mixture).
  • Add finely diced sage or basil now if using. Add only 1 leaf; don't go crazy.
  • Coat bottom and sides of fry pan with olive oil. (I used Pam after I lifted out veggies, and took out most oil in a sauce pan with a little oil).
  • Add zucchini egg mixture; have on low heat. Keep lifting up omelet and letting it run underneath; when almost dry on top, flip).
  • Cover saucepan with a plate.
  • Here is the hard part.
  • SLOWLY, with the bottom part cooked, flip the mixture onto the plate and slide back into the pan, uncooked side down.
  • Finish cooking.
  • DO NOT BURN YOURSELF TRYING TO DO THIS.
  • I have found a couple of seconds in microwave will set eggs nicely.
