Preparation
Preheat a broiler. In a small skillet
over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of the
Originale olive oil. Add the onion and the
dried thyme, if using, and sauté until
the onion wilts, about five minutes. Meanwhile,
cut off the stems and navels from the zucchini,
cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut
them crosswise into thin slices. Add the
zucchini, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring
a few times, until tender but not mushy, 10 to
12 minutes. Just before the zucchini slices
are done, add the fresh thyme, if using, and the
basil or parsley.
Place the mixture in a colander to cool and to
allow excess water to drain out, about ten minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with
a fork. Beat in the salt, pepper to taste,
and cheese. Add the drained cooled zucchini
and onion.
Pour the remaining two tablespoons olive oil in
a flameproof 12-inch skillet or omelet pan and
place over medium heat. When it is hot enough
to make the eggs sizzle, pour in the egg mixture,
using a fork or spoon to distribute the
zucchini evenly. Immediately reduce the
heat to low and cook the frittata gently
until it is set, 12 to 15 minutes. Take
care not to overcook the eggs or they will lose
their delicacy.
Top finish cooking, slide the pan under the preheated
broiler six inches from the heat until the top
is golden, 0ne to two minutes. Using a spatula
to loosen the edges from the pan, slide the frittata
out onto a serving plate. Serve warm or
cold, cut into wedges.
