Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- While oven is heating, heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. (Note: skillet size is for 4 servings. If customizing, use a larger or smaller skillet, or you can transfer the cooked filling to a muffin tin and top it with the egg mixture before baking.)
- To heated skillet, add cooking oil and then zucchini with some salt. Saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and corn and saute until tomatoes have started softening, ~2 minutes more.
- Pour egg mixture over vegetables and stir to combine. Crumble cheese over top.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. (Frittata is done when eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.)
- When frittata is done, give dressing a stir and season with some salt and pepper.
- Toss lettuce in dressing and top with sunflower seeds.
- Slice frittata and serve with salad on the side.

I loved how light and fresh tasting this was. I'll need to watch it more carefully next time, since the tomatoes started to burn quickly in my cast iron skillet. I also think I'd find a more substantial side next time, as the meal as a whole felt very light.
0 HelpfulThis was okay, but nowhere near my favourite CookSmarts frittata with artichokes, spinach and feta.
