Zucchini Spinach Frittata
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 Tbsp Olive Oil3/4 Cup onion, diced3/4 Cup sweet red/yellow/orange bell pepper, diced1 Cup zucchini, finely diced1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning4 large eggs1/4 tsp seasoned salt, to taste (I use Spike or Lawry's)1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped1/2 Cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Heat olive oil in oven proof skillet (I use 10" cast iron skillet) on medium low heat (I use #4 on my GE electric stove). Saute onion and bell pepper until they start to soften (about 3-5 minutes. They continue to cook as you add the rest of the layers). Add zucchini and continue to saute, stirring occasionally for about 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, stir, then use a spoon or spatula to spread the onion/pepper/zucchini mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan.
At this point, turn on the broiler in the oven so it can begin to heat.
Pour the beaten egg/cottage cheese/salt mixture over the veggie layer.
Cover with lid and continue to cook until the egg mixture is almost cooked (most of the egg mixture will be set, but you can still see some runny parts.) Sprinkle on the crumbled feta cheese, then add the chopped spinach.
Transfer skillet to the oven under the broiler. The broiler will continue to cook the eggs from the top. This process takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes or longer depending on how hot your broiler runs. When the egg/feta/spinach mixture begins to slightly brown, remove skillet and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over egg/spinach. Put skillet back under the broiler and cook until the mozzarella cheese is melted and beginning to slightly brown. Remove skillet from oven. Let sit for about 5 minutes then quarter and serve.
