Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the ricotta.
- Heat a 12-inch (30 cm) cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 3–5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the bacon from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the pan.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook until caramelized, 8–10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and sauté until starting to soften, 2–3 minutes.
- Add the corn and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens further but is still bright green. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan over the vegetables, then top with the crispy bacon.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the top is puffed and the eggs are cooked through.
- Garnish with parsley, then serve directly from the skillet.
- Enjoy!
