Ingredients:
8 large eggs |
3 tablespoons heavy cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3/4 cup grated fontina or gouda |
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 small or 1/2 medium zucchini, about 5 ounces |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced crimini mushrooms |
1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper |
1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper |
1/4 cup minced green onions (green tops only) |
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves |
1 tablespoon chopped green onions, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat the broiler and place the top rack 4 to 5 inches from the broiler element. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until the eggs are frothy. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and whisk. Set aside.
2. In a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and mushrooms, and and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peppers and green onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and pinch of the pepper and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley and with the pan over medium heat, pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Cook, lifting with a rubber spatula to let the eggs flow underneath, until the edges are set but the middle still is loose, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the top. Place under the broiler until the eggs are slightly puffed and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent from overcooking.
4. Remove from the oven and carefully slide the frittata out onto a large serving platter. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and the chopped green onions. Slice, and serve immediately.
