Frittata - in our understanding, an ordinary omelet, but in the Italian style. However, unlike the usual omelets, it is not the eggs that play the leading role, but the filling, which can be varied. Another distinctive feature of the classic omelet, frittata is first fried in a pan as usual, and then sent to bake in the oven. And all kinds of vegetables, cheese and spices are added to the eggs. Well, since the season of fresh summer vegetables still lasts, you should definitely try an omelet with fresh zucchini and tomatoes.
Before you start preparing an Italian breakfast, you should consider some of the nuances:
- It is advisable to use zucchini young, slightly greenish. These will cook faster and taste more delicate.
- If vegetables will be pre-fried or stewed before making an omelet, then it is better to chop them coarsely, and if you prefer to mix them with an egg mixture, then it is better to grate them.
- Since the zucchini does not have a special flavor, add more greens to the dish.
- The classic frittata prescribes the use of only hard cheese. But you can always experiment with other types, for example, feta cheese, processed cheese, suluguni, mozzarella, etc.
- It is also worth noting that for this dish you will need a frying pan with a removable handle, or with a handle that can be heated in the oven.
