Yummy Frittata
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
6 large egg whites
100 g ricotta cheese, part skim
20 g parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tbs olive oil, extra virgin
350 g zucchini, (one larger one, washed and sliced into thin rounds)
Directions:
1. Beat the eggs and whites in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, basil and thyme. Beat to combine. Set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a flat based heavy pan (oven-proof and stick-free) on medium-high. When the oil is hot add the zucchini slices and stir so the zucchini is coated. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the zucchini slices are lightly browned (~ 5 minutes).
3. Remove from the heat and place zucchini into a bowl. Let cool for 2-3 mins then stir slices to the egg mixture.
4. Reheat the pan and pour the egg mixture into the pan. Do not stir it!! Reduce the heat to medium (run a spatula along the edge to separate the cooked edges from the pan) and let the mix cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top is beginning to set (~ 6 minutes).
5. During cooking pre-heat the grill and once the top of the frittata has started to set transfer the pan to the oven. Cook for a few minutes (until the top starts to become lightly browned).
6. Remove from oven, slice in two and serve!
