Caramelized Onion Zucchini and Goat Cheese Frittata | Break an Egg | Food52 + Nellie’s Free Range

Welcome to Break an Egg, the series where we cook up winning breakfast recipes. Today, Elena Besser, the founder of the pop-up dinner series The Lineup, shares what she says is a make-ahead weekday morning standout. Zucchini, red onions, fresh herbs, goat cheese, and Nellie’s Free Range eggs play extremely well together in this frittata — and the result is creamy and tangy, with a depth of flavor you’ll be thinking about all day.

This video is made in partnership with Nellie’s Free Range Eggs.

. . . exactly for breakfast I make such one hour dishes every day - it just helps me to better get awake in the mornings . . . .

I love everything about this recipe except, gimme more egg! I use at least 10 eggs for a 12” skillet when I make my Hakuna Frittata.

I love zucchini frittata and make it often. My recipe calls for shredded zucchini, but I love your sliced coins better. Your final result has a texture and looks stunning. I am switching to your method now. Thank you so much! Also, I love that egg brand, did not find better yolks in any other brand in my local markets.

Could l suggest that Nellie's ditches the plastic? Wow just heard you say they're B Corp certified - seriously? Single use plastic? Very disappointing.

I think Elena is a great host and actually prefer her over some of the others that commonly cook on the Food52 channel. Plus, love the recipe and the new series!

I love frittatas but zucchini is for the birds.

[johnsmalldridge]

Didn’t really like this host. She seems like she just lit up before cooking and really doesn’t seem to take any of it seriously. Just doesn’t inspire trust in her recipe.

I’d try the recipe but this host has a monotone delivery and is a bit off putting.
