• When the zucchini have softened, remove the pan from the heat and add the zucchini to the eggs. Stir to combine.
• Add the butter to the same pan and swirl to melt. Add the egg and zucchini mixture and top with the torn zucchini flowers if using. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the frittata begin to brown and the center has set and is puffed slightly, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Start by crushing some garlic and heating it in some olive oil in a medium nonstick saute pan on the stove. While that is heating up, very thinly slice the zucchini on a mandoline. When the oil and garlic are heated, tear some basil into the pan and add all the sliced zucchini. Cook until the zucchini is tender, but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Blend eggs in a blender with a little bit of milk and some salt and pepper. Blend on the highest speed.
• Pour the egg mixture into saute pan and let it sit for 1 minute. When there isn't much loose egg left in the pan, grate some Parmesan on top and place pan in the broiler for 1 minute.
• Take pan out of broiler, let it cool and set in pan for 5 minutes. When cool invert a plate on top of pan and turn over. Slice and serve.

FRITTATA DI ZUCCHINE (ZUCCHINI FRITTATA)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler (the one in your oven, not the BBQ grill).
• In a small frying pan over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Add the onion and dried thyme (if using it).
• Sauté until the onion wilts (about five minutes).
• Prepare the zucchini by cutting off the stems and blossom ends, cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut them crosswise into thin slices.
• Add the zucchini, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally (until tender but not mushy- about 10 to 12 minutes).
• Just before the zucchini slices are done, add the fresh thyme (if using it) and the basil OR parsley.
• Place the mixture in a colander to cool and allow excess water to drain out (about ten minutes).
• In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
• Beat in the salt, pepper, and cheese.
• Add the drained cooled zucchini and onion mixture.
• Pour the remaining two tablespoons olive oil in a flameproof 12-inch skillet or omelet pan and place over medium heat.
• When it is hot enough to make the eggs sizzle, pour in the egg mixture, making sure the zucchini mixture is distributed evenly.
• Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata gently until it is set (about 12-15 minutes).
• Be careful not to overcook the eggs.
• To finish cooking, slide the pan under the preheated broiler six inches from the heat until the top is golden (about 1-2 minutes more).
• Use a spatula to loosen the edges from the pan, slide the frittata out onto a serving plate.
• Serve warm or cold, cut into wedges.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small fry pan. (I used a small saucepan.).
• Add onion; cook on low heat until translucent.
• Add zucchini, (I only used 1 zucchini) salt and pepper. Do not overcook. Zucchini should still have crunch.
• In a large bowl whisk eggs (I used 4 eggs ), and salt.
• Add the zucchini mixture; mix. (I put in eggs then added onion mixture).
• Add finely diced sage or basil now if using. Add only 1 leaf; don't go crazy.
• Coat bottom and sides of fry pan with olive oil. (I used Pam after I lifted out veggies, and took out most oil in a sauce pan with a little oil).
• Add zucchini egg mixture; have on low heat. Keep lifting up omelet and letting it run underneath; when almost dry on top, flip).
• Cover saucepan with a plate.
• Here is the hard part.
• SLOWLY, with the bottom part cooked, flip the mixture onto the plate and slide back into the pan, uncooked side down.
• Finish cooking.
• DO NOT BURN YOURSELF TRYING TO DO THIS.
• I have found a couple of seconds in microwave will set eggs nicely.

ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place the shredded zucchini in a towel or several layers of cheese cloth, gather ends and twist hard sqeezing out as much liquid as possible.
• Heat oil and butter in a large oven proof skillet (I use cast iron) and saute onion and garlic for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and cook the vegetables over moderately low heat, stirring often, until the zucchini is just tender. Pour off any liquid that collects in the pan.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, seasonings, and 2 Tbs. of the parmesean cheese.
• Add to zucchini mixture, and cook, stirring often, until the eggs begin to set.
• Sprinkle the Frittata with remainder parmesean cheese and place the pan under the broiler or in a very hot oven (500)until the top of the Frittata is lightly browned (this happens fast so keep a close watch so it doesn't burn).
• Let stand a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
