Weeknight Zucchini Corn Frittata

I adore making this zucchini corn frittata during the peak summer produce season! It's a delicious breakfast or dinner and leftovers can easily be warmed for lunch. Satisfying, tastes incredible and so easy to make!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels, cut from the cob
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 8 large eggs, separated
  • cup chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, chives and basil
  • 8 ounces freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • micro greens or fresh arugula,, for topping

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter in a 10 or 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, zucchini, garlic and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini slightly softens, about 5 to 6 minutes. Keep the mixture over low heat.
  • Separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in a bowl of your electric mixture. Place the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.
  • To the egg yolks, add a big pinch of salt and pepper, the fresh herbs and almost all of the cheddar cheese. Whisk until combined.
  • Beat the egg whites until medium peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Do not whisk the mixture - fold it until completely combined and fluffy.
  • Pour the frittata mixture over the corn/zucchini in the pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top. Cook for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Stick the pan in the oven. Bake the frittata for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Make sure the center is cooked through.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly. Top with micro greens or arugula. Serve!
