How To Make zucchini and gruyere fritatta

    Preheat oven to 425F
  • 2
    Heat olive oil in a 10" oven proof skillet. Add the onion and saute just until it begins to brown and caramelize. Add the sliced zucchini on top of the onion and continue to cook the vegetables over medium-high heat. Turn the zucchini once. Season the mixture with a little salt and pepper.

    Meanwhile beat the eggs in a small bowl with the 1/2 and 1/2, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, and add salt and pepper to taste.

    Once the vegetables are cooked tender, top with the eggs and Gruyere cheese. Arrange the thin tomato slices and green onion slices on the top. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat.

    Place in the hot oven and cook for 10-12 minutes. Start checking the fittata after about 8 minutes. Use a think knife and make a little slit in the center of the fittata. If the eggs still run, then bake just a couple minutes more. Do not over bake!
