frittata with zucchini and mushrooms

Basically a frittata is an open faced Italian omelette or I often think of it as a type of quiche without the crust.  The key difference between a frittata and omelette is the former is hard and set where the latter is often fluffy and creamy.

The fillings can included anything you want to use up, and for this recipe you can use about 2 cups of filling but if the filling takes up more space then use one less egg.  The key to making a good frittata is keeping the heat very low and cooking the eggs very slowly before finishing it off in the broiler.

In a medium 10 inch (24 cm) skillet with a flame proof handle (you are putting skillet in oven) over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion until it begins to wilt. Add zucchini and a sprinkle of salt.

Sautè for 6-8 minutes and add the mushrooms, cook for another 5 minutes, and add butter. Set aside.

Beat the eggs in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and the cheese. Mix until blended.
