Zucchini Frittata With Marjoram
- 1 1/4 lb. zucchini, coarsely grated
- salt and freshly milled pepper
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 6 eggs
- 1 large clove garlic, crushed or minced
- 1 Tbsp. chopped marjoram
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan or dry Jack
- Toss the zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt and set it aside in a colander for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Rinse briefly, then squeeze dry. Warm half the oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until it is dry and flecked with gold in a few places, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer the zucchini to a bowl and wipe out the pan.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Beat the eggs with a few pinches of salt and some pepper, then stir in the garlic, zucchini, marjoram and cheese.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan and, when it is hot, add the eggs.
- Lower the heat, cook for a minute or so, then give the pan a few jerks to make sure the eggs are loose on the bottom.
- If they are sticking, loosen them carefully with a thin rubber spatula.
- Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs start to set.
- Add a little more freshly grated Parmesan on top.
- Put the frittata 4 to 6 inches under the broiler to finish cooking the top.
