kcalA fluffy and savory frittata packed with tender zucchini and a kick of spice for a bold, flavorful bite.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh corn kernels
Coarse salt, to taste
8 large eggs
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and jalapeno, sautéing for about 2 minutes until softened. Add the zucchini and corn, and season with coarse salt. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Cook the Frittata: Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.
- Serve: Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with extra jalapeno slices or fresh herbs, if desired.
