Ingredients
4teaspoonsextra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup diced zucchini, (1 small)
½cupchopped onion
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes, halved
¼cupslivered fresh mint
¼cupslivered fresh basil
¼teaspoonsalt, divided
5large eggs
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese, (2 ounces)
Directions
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and onion; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, mint, basil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the moisture has evaporated, 30 to 60 seconds.
Whisk eggs, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper in a large bowl until blended. Add the zucchini mixture and cheese; stir to combine.
Preheat the broiler.
Wipe out the pan and brush it with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil; place over medium-low heat. Add the frittata mixture and cook, without stirring, until the bottom is light golden, 2 to 4 minutes. As it cooks, lift the edges and tilt the pan so uncooked egg will flow to the edges.
Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the frittata is set and the top is golden, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Loosen the edges and slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve.

While we used to think that you should limit egg consumption when trying to reduce cholesterol, we now know that dietary cholesterol—the cholesterol in the food we eat—is not a big contributor to the amount of cholesterol in our bodies. Regularly eating foods high in trans and saturated fats, however, has been shown to raise harmful LDL cholesterol and lower helpful HDL cholesterol.

Although quiches and frittatas are both egg-based dishes, they have a few differences in ingredients and preparation. Aquicheis typically made with a custard base, with a crust or without a crust, and is baked entirely in the oven. In a frittata, the ingredients are mixed in with eggs and cooked on the stovetop, then finished underneath a broiler or in an oven.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
