Introduction

I adapted this recipe from chocolateandzucchini.com's Leek and Ricotta Frittata when I wanted a change from an omelet but didn't want to make a trip to the store. Enjoy and let me know if you have any successful substitutions.

Ingredients

    4 eggs
    3.5 oz of ricotta
    a handful of fresh basil
    1 large zucchini or 2 small zucchinis sliced
    2 T. olive oil
    salt and pepper

Directions

Add the olive oil to a saucepan. Then add zucchini and dash with salt & pepper. Sweat the zucchini for 10-15 minutes (until soft).

In large enough bowl, whip the eggs and ricotta together. Add chopped basil. Add the zucchini. Add a little salt & pepper.

Pour mixture into a dish that is oven safe. I use a ceramic pie dish that can go in. It will rise.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes (as soon as middle doesn't look goopy).

Makes 2 servings for breakfast but could be cut into smaller slices for a brunch. Enjoy!
