Zucchini and Corn Frittata
Description
The Zucchini and Corn Frittata involves briefly caramelizing onion slices in oil, then cooking zucchini and sweet corn together before adding beaten eggs seasoned with salt. The eggs begin cooking on the stovetop until edges start browning lightly, then the skillet is transferred to a hot oven to finish cooking and brown the top slightly under the broiler. This results in a set, fluffy frittata with softened vegetables throughout.
The mixture of sweet corn and tender zucchini provides subtle natural sweetness and mild earthiness balanced by the savory egg base. The caramelized onions add depth and gentle sweetness to the flavor profile. The cooking process yields a lightly crisp edge and a moist interior.
Once baked and broiled, the frittata is sliced into wedges for serving. It can be enjoyed warm and makes a good option for breakfast, brunch, or light dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 large egg
- 6 pinches salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 1 zucchini about 8 oz. (226 g)
- 1/2 cup corn frozen, sweet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the salt, and lightly beat the eggs.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet (preferred) over medium heat and add the oil. Sauté the onion until slightly caramelized, then add the zucchini and sweet corn.
- Cook for 30 seconds before adding the eggs to the skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the edges of the eggs start to turn light brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Broil for 1 minute, or until the surface is nicely browned. Remove from the oven and slice into wedges. Serve warm.
