Farm Fresh Frittata
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups cubed zucchini
  • 2 1/2 cups cubed yellow summer squash
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 slice thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, or to taste
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup diced sweet peppers
  • 2 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
1
Combine the zucchini and summer squash in a bowl, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of kosher salt evenly over the top. Make sure everything is well-coated with the salt by gently tossing the mixture until it's uniform. Allow the squash to sit for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
Next, thoroughly rinse the squash under cold running water to remove all excess salt. Transfer the drained squash to a colander and let it drain for 15 minutes, ensuring all excess liquid is removed.
3
In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it's nicely browned and almost crispy, taking about 5 minutes.
4
While the bacon is cooking, combine eggs, a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and chopped green onions in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together using a fork until well-combined.
5
Increase the heat on the bacon to medium-high and add the peppers and red onion, sprinkling a pinch of salt over them. Cook and stir until the peppers are just starting to soften and the onions have turned translucent, taking about 3 minutes. Add the drained squash and carefully stir everything together until it's just combined. Continue cooking until the squash is slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, set an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
7
Add the Cheddar cheese to the skillet and pour the egg mixture over it. Use a spatula to stir everything together until it starts to thicken, taking about 30 to 45 seconds. Gently shake the pan to settle the contents and turn off the heat.
8
Push the edges of the mixture down a bit with the spatula, then sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture.
9
Place the skillet under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and the frittata is firm to the touch, taking about 2 to 3 minutes.

Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions over the top and let it cool for 5 minutes before transferring it to a serving plate.
