| 1. Preheat broiler (the one in your oven, not the BBQ grill). | 2. In a small frying pan over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of the olive oil. | 3. Add the onion and dried thyme (if using it). | 4. Sauté until the onion wilts (about five minutes). | 5. Prepare the zucchini by cutting off the stems and blossom ends, cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut them crosswise into thin slices. | 6. Add the zucchini, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally (until tender but not mushy- about 10 to 12 minutes). | 7. Just before the zucchini slices are done, add the fresh thyme (if using it) and the basil OR parsley. | 8. Place the mixture in a colander to cool and allow excess water to drain out (about ten minutes). | 9. In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork. | 10. Beat in the salt, pepper, and cheese. | 11. Add the drained cooled zucchini and onion mixture. | 12. Pour the remaining two tablespoons olive oil in a flameproof 12-inch skillet or omelet pan and place over medium heat. | 13. When it is hot enough to make the eggs sizzle, pour in the egg mixture, making sure the zucchini mixture is distributed evenly. | 14. Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata gently until it is set (about 12-15 minutes). | 15. Be careful not to overcook the eggs. | 16. To finish cooking, slide the pan under the preheated broiler six inches from the heat until the top is golden (about 1-2 minutes more). | 17. Use a spatula to loosen the edges from the pan, slide the frittata out onto a serving plate. | 18. Serve warm or cold, cut into wedges. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
