In a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat 1 ts oil over medium-high
heat. Add zucchini and shallot; cook, stirring, until zucchini is hust

seconds. Season with 1/4 ts salt. Transfer veggies to a bowl and let cool
for 10 minutes. Wipe out skillet.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and egg whites. Add ricotta, Parmesan, parsley,
chives, basil, pepper and remaining 1/2 ts salt and whisk until smooth. Stir
in vegetables. Preheat broiler.

Add remaining 1 ts oil to the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom; heat
over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture, shaking pan to distribute evenly.
Cook until edges are set and frittata is browned on the bottom, 5 to 7
minutes.

Place skillet under broiler 6 inches below the below the heat source and
cook until top of frittata is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen edges and slide
frittata onto a platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
