7 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
2/3 cup pearl-size or baby fresh mozzarella balls (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chopped soft sun-dried tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped zucchini
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
Heat oil in a large broiler-safe nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Pour the eggs over the vegetables in the pan. Cook, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg from the middle to flow underneath, until nearly set, about 2 minutes. Arrange mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes on top and place the skillet under the broiler until the eggs are slightly browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Let stand for 3 minutes. Top with basil.
To release the frittata from the pan, run a spatula around the edge, then underneath, until you can slide or lift it out onto a cutting board or serving plate.
Cut into 4 slices and serve.

For some reason I've always made omelets rather than frittatas. I only recently discovered that they're better than omelets because the non-egg ingredients are more evenly distributed so you get more flavor per bite. They're also much easier to make, with none of that lifting/folding/tearing/swearing stuff.
This one sounds very good; thanks. Here in Florida we're not that far away from outdoor herb growing season, can't wait to start my basil patch.0
