How to Make Spanish Zucchini Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to broil. Spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, in the skillet over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 medium zucchini, diced, and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños (or to taste).
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs (or 1 cup egg beaters) with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini mixture in the skillet.
  7. Cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with your favorite salsa.
