Zucchini and Ricotta Frittata
A light yet satisfying Italian frittata, showcasing tender zucchini and creamy ricotta. Perfect for a quick and budget-friendly Roman breakfast.

Ingredients
- Large Eggs 6 count
- Ricotta Cheese 0.5 cup
- Zucchini 2 medium
- Small Onion 1 count
- Parmesan Cheese, grated 0.25 cup
- Olive Oil 2 tbsp
- Salt 0.5 tsp
- Black Pepper 0.25 tsp
- Fresh Parsley (optional) 2 tbsp
How to Cook
- Dice the small onion and thinly slice the zucchini.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 20-22 cm (8-9 inch) oven-safe, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Gently fold in the cooked zucchini and onion.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Return the same pan (no need to clean) to medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading the vegetables evenly. Cook on the stovetop for 5 minutes, until the edges are set.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center.
- Let the frittata cool slightly in the pan before inverting onto a plate or slicing directly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
