This is a wonderful frittata recipe I got from the Get Toasted series of recipes by Eric Ripert, renouned French chef best known for his partnership along with Maguy Le Coze in the world-class seafood restaurant now located in New York - Le Bernardin, one of only five restaurants in NY to be awarded three Michelin stars.
This is a very simple preparation and only takes 8 minutes to cook. If you're not familiar, a frittata is simply a baked omelet, which is very popular in southern France, Italy, and Spain.
- Prepare a mini cast iron pan or iron mini server by brushing with olive oil.
- Preheat conventional oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees.
- Beat two eggs seasoned with fresh ground pepper and salt.
- Next take a zucchini and julienne to match-stick size pieces and season with salt/pepper.
- Add zucchini to the eggs along with fresh parmesan and a few torn leaves of mint.
- Pour ingredients into pan and place in pre-heated oven for 8 minutes or until lightly browned as pictured above. Eggs should be very moist.
- Allow to rest a few minutes before eating as pan and the frittata will be very hot
You could vary this recipe by using a variety of herbs and vegetables just as with an omelet, so be creative and enjoy!
Never would have thought of the mint thing...sounds really refreshing. Good summer fare! Hmm. It's breakfast time. I think I have eggs. ;)
