GREEK BAKED SQUASH OMELET
Greeks often add yogurt to their omelets, which contributes calcium, protein and bacteria long believed to help digestion. Yogurt also gives the omelet a light, fluffy texture. Make this with winter squash in winter and with zucchini in summer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until tender, about three minutes. Add the garlic, stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add the squash. Cook, stirring, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes for winter squash, about 8 minutes for zucchini. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the dill and the mint. Remove from the heat.
- Place the remaining tablespoon of oil in a 2-quart casserole or in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, brush the sides of the pan with the oil and place in the oven. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Whisk in the yogurt and the Parmesan. Stir in the squash or zucchini mixture.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and scrape in the egg mixture. Place in the oven, and bake 30 minutes or until puffed and lightly colored. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- In small saucepan over medium heat, stir together all of the filling ingredients.
- Cover and cook just until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover.
- Cook until liquid is evaporated.
- Cover to keep warm and set aside while preparing omelets.
- In small bowl, beat together eggs, water, cheeses and seasonings until blended.
- In 7 to 10-inch omelet pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 teaspoon of the butter until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of the egg mixture. (the mixture should set immediately at edges.)
- With a spatula, carefully push cooked portions at edges toward center so uncooked portions can reach the hot pan surface, tilting pan and moving cooked portions as necessary.
- When top is setting and no visible liquid egg remains, fill with half of the reserved vegetable mixture.
- With spatula, fold omelet in half, or roll.
- Invert onto plate with a quick flip of the wrist or slide from pan onto plate. Keep warm.
- Repeat with remaining egg and vegetable mixtures for second omelet.
- Serve and enjoy!
SUMMER SQUASH WITH EGGS
From apartmenttherapy.com as adapted from Food Network. Two versions for prepping the squash are given. Halfway through preparing this recipe I discovered I didn't have enough chevre, and substituted with some locally made cream cheese. Best if the cream cheese is at room temperature or it can be whipped.

Steps:
- VERSION #1: Trim the ends off the squash and grate using a box grater or a food processor with the grating attachment. Combine with 1 tablespoon salt in a colander and let drain in the sink for 30 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated squash. Add the squash to the skillet along with the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe in Step #3.
- VERSION #2 (my change): Trim the ends off the squash. Dice the [unpeeled] summer squash into 1/2" cubes. Cut the zucchini and crookneck into 1" slices. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced summer squash to the pan and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Next add the shallots, garlic, and paprika and cook, stirring, until just tender and fragrant. Reduce heat to medium-low then stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and no longer releasing liquid, about 8-10 minutes. If mixture starts to dry out too much, reduce heat. Proceed with recipe in Step #3.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the basil.
- Smooth the mixture evenly in the skillet and make four wells using the back of a spoon. Pour 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in each well. One at a time, crack an egg into a small bowl and pour into one of the wells. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over each egg. Arrange small bits of the chevre around and in between the eggs.
- Cover and cook over low-medium heat until egg whites are set and yolks are still soft, about 10 minutes. I checked the eggs after 5 minutes, then cooked them another 2 minutes for our preference.
- Garnish eggs with basil and serve with crusty bread. A simple green salad and lightly seasoned black beans made the meal complete. I threw together a quick arugula salad. You could also serve the squash and eggs over raw greens as a suggestion.
THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)
Loaded with fresh vegetables and a touch of bacon, this farmer's frittata is my favorite type of frittata. It's a perfect way to use your gorgeous, fresh garden vegetables. Curing the squash with kosher salt pulls out the bitterness and makes the squash taste sweeter. It's got great texture, taste, and visual appeal and can be served hot, warm, at room temperature or cold for any meal of the day.

Steps:
- Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
- While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
- Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.
