Frittata alle zucchine

A ten minute recipe for when you come in from work and there’s virtually nothing in the fridge except two close-to-gone-off courgettes, an onion and an open packet of diced smokey bacon. Actually, make sure the eggs are fresh!! If you didn’t even have the chance to stop by the bakery, serve with toasted wholemeal sliced bread.

What you need (for two people):

2 courgettes (or zucchini)
80 gr. pancetta (or bacon)
¼ onion
olive oil
grated ricotta salata
3 eggs
salt, black pepper
¼ glass of milk

How you do it:

In a pan, fry the chopped onion, courgettes and bacon. In a bowl, mix together three eggs, salt, pepper, the grated cheese and the milk.
Add the eggs to the courgettes and mix well in the pan, then let it cook undisturbed until the bottom is done.
Transfer the pan under the hot grill to cook the top surface.
It’s nice with a fresh tomatoes salad. To add an Anglo-Saxon touch, you can serve it with a good relish.
