So what I should have known going into this: frittatas are more like open-faced omelettes. The difference? In a frittata, the extra ingredients are mixed with the egg while the eggs are still raw, it is typically partially baked or flipped, it is cooked over very low heat, and it is served in slices, not whole. Voila!
According to what I just learned, I shouldn't have used such high temperatures when cooking this on the stove. o.O That may have solved the transfer problem.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups zucchini
4 eggs
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/4 cup mozzarella
Making the dish:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil isn't to hot! I put in the garlic and it immediately burnt! >.<; Cook the garlic for about a minute and then add the zucchini. Stirring constantly, cook for 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs, whites, rosemary, salt, and pepper together. Pour this over the zucchini and "cook for 3 minutes". After this, you are supposed to sprinkle cheese on the top and then broil for 3 minutes. However, I'm uncertain when you switch from the skillet to a dish you can bake in. I tried to cook for three minutes in the skillet, stirring so that it would fit to the shape of the dish. But then I realized that I was just making scrambled eggs, so I poured it all into a square glass dish. I set that on the burner for a minute, then gave up and put the cheese on and put it in the oven.
How did it turn out?
Well, it tasted good. I might add a little spinach next time. The recipe called for fresh rosemary, which I didn't have so I used dry stuff. Using fresh may change the outcome. Also, the cheese called for was "Parmigiano Reggiano," which is supposed to mean parmesan. I don't like that as much though, and I think the mozzarella worked just fine. :)
Zucchini is rich in potassium, manganese, and vitamin c. It also has a decent amount of vitamin k, vitamin b-6, riboflavin (which is vitamin b-2), and folate.
Eggs are rich in vitamins b-2 and b-12, phosphorous, protein, and selenium.
