I'm Italian farmer and I approve this recipe. We make frittata with any kind of vegetable, in winter we use broccoli, chicory, brussel sprouts, savoy cabbage etc. We use a tiny bit of pancetta or salami as condiment to give more flavor, but the meat is optional and its flavor should never stand out. We often use Parmigiano cheese, rarely the goat cheese shown in this video because we prefer to only use cheeses that melts, and caprino cheese doesn't melt properly. Any cheese that melts will be good for frittata. We also never use chili or paprika because it's not a traditional ingredient in rural Italy, instead we use fresh herbs from our fields like thyme, mint, santureja, oregano, etc.

Holy cow, this was absolutely amazing. My wife "doesn't like Frittatas", so I was taking a risk when I chose to make this for her birthday breakfast. It was absolutely mind-blowing and she says it was one of her favorite breakfasts of all time! Thank you Chef John for teaching me this!

I’m so happy to tell you…I used zucchini, squash, peppers, onions and eggs from my own homestead!! It’s satisfying to eat what you grow!!

Baaahahaha I made this for dinner, the entire family was complaining like I was driving them to Whataburger... One bite, ONE BITE and they were in food heaven. Thanks Chef John!!!!!!!

Man that is so nostalgic, my nan always used to make a humongus frittata with all the veggies, and leftover pasta for good measure, and then we would eat it through the day while at their farm, bless your soul gran

this is such a wonderful comment! food is something that really brings everyone together

Made this today with a few tweaks. I had a little ham to use up as well as cold cooked potatoes. Absolutely delicious way to clean up all the bits and bobs of veg and cheese before Saturday grocery shop. I also had a couple aging oranges and some ‘leftover’ Chardonnay. Saturday brunch, complete 😋

Chef John, I happen to know The Farmer personally. I showed him your video and he gave it an enthusiastic two thumbs up.

You're a treasure Chef John. Such a great teacher and absolutely funny. Thanks for making cooking so enjoyable.

I grew up eating this often. It came from my nonnies garden and small 2 acre farm. It was inexpensive, nutritious and delicious. I still make it frequently for my family. Thanks Chef John, you took me back to my childhood. 😘

Chef John never ceases to amaze. Even if we dont make a lot of the recipes, you inspire us to go cook with what we have. Thank you!

Awesome food, recipes, instructions, music, good jokes and friendly attitude and ALL for FREE! Can we really ask for more??? Beautiful, as always, Chef John! Peace to the awakening ones.

Another success 😋This is the first cooking channel where, if I follow the directions, everything turns out great. A professional chef who shares all his tips and tricks with non-trained cooks 👍🏻👍🏻

This is a recipe my girlfriend will absolutely adore, i will cook it for her this upcoming week. Thanks chef John!

Wow I’m jealous

I made this frittata on August 27, 2021 -- because a friend (?) dumped a load of zucchini on me. This frittata tasted as good as Chef John claimed that it would. (If you suddenly receive a load of zucchini, this dish is one way to dispose of it.) BTW Make sure that you prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking because this dish is cooked quickly. You won't have much time to chop stuff.

I should have waited another 5 minutes or so before transferring from the cast iron skillet. Fell apart a bit but boy was it good. I used feta vs. goat cheese because that's what we had. Squash was delicious. Used sweet peppers from our garden. Definite keeper. Thanks

I made one of these, it turned out amazing. I used no full size onions, just the green ones. Also one red bell pepper instead of the small ones he had. I also added some milk to the eggs when whisking them. Oh, and 4 bacons.

Chef John, every spring could you make a video showing us what you're planting for the year? Based on the number of zucchini dishes recently, I can tell you've planted some squash, and I did too this year! So the timing of your recipes is particularly helpful. I'm hoping in the future we could make it not-coincidental!

I could listen to this man all day

Low key best zucchini advice i've ever heard.

God bless the Farmer- God bless you and Michelle Chef John. You keep us cheered up and encouraged . Hello from Seattle

I love what you do, Chef. I've loved it for years and I have plans to continue.

This was so incredible. My family loved it. Chef John is the best.

Hey chef John I made this frittata this morning after church. It was wonderful. However I only had some zucchini on hand and no yellow squash, but, I had some leftover creamer potatoes in garlic butter and parsley so I added that. Oh and I didn't have any goat cheese but I did have some Brie so I topped it with that. Everything else in the recipe was according to the recipe you presented. Not exactly your recipe but it was over the top wonderful just the same. I'm a big fan your chanel.

Every recipe of yours that I have made has been amazing. This also looks amazing! Can’t wait to make it!

easily my favorite cooking channel. i've made so many of his dishes

Chef John your enthusiast, soothing tone is just what I needed. The added benefit of new meal ideas. Thank you chef John.

this was AMAZING! I'm also a gardener so I used all my own veggies and your salting zuc. trick is game changing. Thank you Chef John!

I've been making a ' clean out the fridge fritatta' for 40 years. No recipe just whatever needs to be eaten. Very forgiving and a surprise every time. It amazes me when people will ask for the recipe years later and then think I'm holding back some magic ingredient. Ha Ha who knows BTW sweating all the watery veg to concentrate the flavor is the magic

I do love a frittata!

i loved watching chef john devouring the 75% of it and a piece of toast in the span of 24 seconds

Perfect for breakfast, luncheon or dinner. Another success for Chef John!

I'm drooling! This looks absolutely scrumptious!😃

For such a simple and humble dish it's SO tempting and delicious looking! Can't wait to try this!

I've come to believe that most of Italian cuisine is just cleaning out aging produce, and making it delicious. I want to try this!

This looks wonderful. It actually made my mouth water. Thanks, Chef John!

I have made this over 10 times! Thank you! It’s awesome 👏

Will this recipe still work if I substitute the eggs with pizza dough? And can I use pepperoni instead of veggies? Thanks

This will probably be a nice and flavorful vegetable pizza (if you maybe add some sauce too). But with dough instead of eggs you will get a totally different outcome.

I have always ignored instruction to salt or wring out vegetables. This video convinced me to try it. I get it now. This recipe rocks. It just became my go-to way to use up extra eggs. Many thanks, Chef John!

Thank you, Chef John and Farmer Gianni!

Look's like another winner. Thank's chef

I don't usually "like" a video until I've watched it all the way through, but when I scrolled up to this one it was "like" at first sight.

Ohhhhhh! Great recipe and great clear instructions!!!! Thk you!!!

I've been preparing my frittata in almost the exact same way for years (swapping the goat cheese with feta and a few small lumps of heavy cream cheese) but have never tried the salting method with my zucchini. Will do this next time and am already excited! This is some very valuable advice.

This farmer seems to know a lot about making good food!

Thanks, Chef John!!!!

I am so glad that you know farmers.

I tried this and it turned out great. My husband who doesn’t really like zucchini ate half of the smaller version of your recipe 🤗. Thank you ☺️

You can slice zucchini thin and bake in oven to su for bacon... can batter I use cic pea flour ND water and lightly coat with cornflake crumbs. Can back on cookie sheet/ parchment or pan fry in griddle with oil. Can use dry herbs or hot spices. Fooled a buddy at brunch, a friend was like you can bring zucchini he hates it.. screw him and her. He ate it and did not have a clue till he asked and then stopped eating his 4th slice and walked away. I use this in place of BLTs for vegans.... oh many I'm hungry.

This looks amazing. It reminds me of something I used to make that was similar, but on a much smaller scale, about the size of a personal pan pizza. Made it in a small cast iron skillet, and did everything about the same but used some spinach in there and used mozzarella and topped it with feta and some diced romas on the top. I will definitely have to try the salting of the zucchini and squash. It's the little things like this that make the difference in how food cooks! I love all of Chef John's recipes! It's become my weekend thing to watch these videos.

This looks soooo good! Thanks John, I cant wait to make this!

This turned out very well, using even frozen zucc/squash and frozen peppers. Used feta cheese at the end.

I learn so much and enjoy so much, thank you!

Can’t wait to make THAT one!

Oh Im definitely trying this!! And I love this channel so entertaining and educational! Cheers John

Thank you for this video, and the salting method! I learn something every video. You Sir are awesome. Cheers.

thanks for the tips I'm definitely going to try it

My food wish is that we both enjoy long lives during which I gain culinary skills from you for the enjoyment of my family and friends. It's been a good run so far! Merci!

Made this last night. It was amazing! Came out perfect

I love Fritatta, a staple of my diet. This looks lovely.

Made it, loved it. Such a great recipe for the stuff grown locally near me.

This looks so amazing! Definitely will be making this. Thank you ! 😊

You crack me up and give good food recipes. Thank you.

You are the farmer of your karma. Chef John, you certainly are brilliant.

I cannot wait to try this! I bet even my picky husband will love it.

Made it this weekend. I was worried that there was too many vegetables and I wimped out. It was still good but I should have listened to Chef John. Even still, a new family favorite. Thanks from us to the farmer. :)

Gosh, this looks absolutely delicious. I will try for sure. Thank you.

Thank you for your videos !

I'm making this today! Wish me a food wish yall. Also thanks you and simply mama are the backbone of the cooking in my household

This is one of my favorites of all time

Please thank the Farmer for sharing this recipe

Thank you for this recipe. I have so much produce I've grown in the UK but didn't have a clue how to use them. Going to give this a try

For simplicity and taste Italian cooking is peerless. This Fritata looks so good, especially with the addition of goats cheese. Will deffo be making this.

I know what we're having for breakfast tomorrow!!!! Looks YUMMY!!!!

Just beautiful. I will make it today.

Delicious. I add a pinch of cayenne and turmeric to my eggs sometimes a bit of curry powder too.

Love your recipes and narrative. I will become huge fan of cukini

just made a frittata last night, perfect time of season

I've never had very good luck with adding veggies to omelets or quiche even when I've precooked them so I've stuck with meats and cheese and herbs. I think this salting method is going to fix my issue of having my veggie & egg dishes be loose and runny. This frittata looks so good, and I can't wait to try it. Thanks, Chef John!!!

Perfect for tomorrow’s Sunday breakfast. Fresh eggs, veggies & cheese.

Brunch of champions! YUMMO!

Beautiful!

Nicely done, John. Looks delicious!

I make fritattas all the time! Just forage around in the fridge for whatever I have and they ALWAYS turn out super delish!

Three professional food people were impressed by the zucchini given the pre-salting treatment. It makes a big difference even if you are just eating zucchini.

Wow, that looks superb I really must try this, thank you😋

Thanks for the squash trick. That dish looks fabulous.

The Bob Ross of the kitchen. Well done. Amazing result.

I literally made this before I watched this video today, just different herbs but exactly same technique. Delicious!! You have taught me well Chef John!

Thanks John

What a lovely meal!

Tried this a few weeks ago and family has been hooked. Made a few substitutions for the cheese and still great (montery and fontina).

Tried the quick salt cure on some zucchini that I tossed in a Thai red curry. Amazing. This recipe looks really good too. Will have to give it a try!

Welcome back, chef!

Looks amazing
