Zucchini Caprese Frittata

An easy and comforting egg dish, using commonly grown garden treasures like tomatoes, zucchini, and basil.

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil more if needed
  • 3/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small-medium zucchini thinly sliced
  • 10 ounces grape tomatoes about 1 heaping cup
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 cup diced fresh mozarella
  • 1/4 cup lightly packed basil leaves thinly sliced
  • optional: pesto for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until just combined.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast iron (or other ovenproof skillet) skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil to coat pan. Saute onion for 3-4 minutes, until tender. Add garlic and zucchini and toss to cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Push everything to the side of the pan and add tomatoes, tossing to cook until lightly blistered and starting to burst. Sprinkle everything lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Turn pan heat to low. Add butter to pan and toss everything together, arranging vegetables in an even layer. Sprinkle cheese and basil on top.
  • Gently pour egg mixture over the vegetables and place pan in oven. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until eggs are set. Let cool for a few minutes and then slice into wedges. Serve with pesto.
