Melty Mozzarella, Zucchini, Leek & Green Pea Frittata with BasilMelty Mozzarella, Zucchini, Leek & Green Pea Frittata with Basil — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

18 eggs

1 small pkg fresh basil

3 cups frozen peas

355 ml heavy whipping cream

3 leeks

1 (227 g) block mozzarella cheese

6 medium zucchini squash

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into thin half-moons. Place in a large bowl.

Trim off root end and dark green top of the leeks, leaving only the white and pale green parts. Cut leeks in half lengthwise and rinse under running water, separating the layers to remove any dirt and grit. Thinly slice crosswise and add to the bowl with the zucchini.

Preheat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add zucchini, leeks, and peas; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. (Reserve bowl for later use.)

Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil on high and position rack in the upper third of the oven.

Coarsely grate cheese and set aside.

Place eggs, cream, and salt in the reserved bowl, then whisk to combine.

Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons. Add half to the bowl with the eggs. (Reserve remaining basil for serving.)

When the veggies are done, reduce heat to medium-low; pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As eggs set around the edge of the skillet, gently lift cooked portions with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until bottom and sides are firm but top is still runny, 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle cheese over the frittata. Place skillet in the oven and broil until top is set and cheese is melted, 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven.

To serve, cut frittata into wedges and divide between plates. Sprinkle with reserved basil and enjoy!
