I love frittatas! They are so simple and make a big meal in not a lot of time. They work great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I love that this meal has veggies and protein all in one. I guess this can be considered a one skillet meal, which saves on the cleaning! I love the combo of the soft potatoes, the creamy goat cheese and crunchy pumpkin seeds. MMM!! I am not a big cilantro fan, so this can easily be made leaving that sauce out.
Zucchini, Potato and Goat Cheese Frittata with Cilantro Sauce
Cilantro Sauce:
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 bunch cilantro
1 chile pepper (serano or jalepeno)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Frittata:
12 large organic eggs
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 small onion, chopped
3-4 small potatoes, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, chopped
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1/4-1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
couple pinches of salt
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Make the cilantro sauce by pureeing the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro, chile, cumin, and salt until very smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed and set aside.
- In a bowl whisk the eggs with a small pinch of salt. Set aside. In a 10-12 inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat add the olive oil, onion, and another pinch of salt. Saute, stirring, until the onion starts to brown, around 5 – 7 minutes. Add the potatoes and zucchini and cover. Cook for another 3 minutes or so. Empty skillet into a bowl and set aside.
- Turn down heat to medium-low and add eggs to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until eggs are set on the bottom. Add a few tablespoons of the cilantro sauce and add potato zucchini mixture.
- Turn off stove and place skillet in the oven for about 10-13 minutes. Add the goat cheese and pumpkin seeds on top and put back in the oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven carefully since it will be super hot.
- Cut into slices and drizzle sauce on top. Serve. Enjoy 🙂
