Glorious late-summer vegetables give fresh meaning to mealtime: sauteed green beans and corn take center stage in this seasonal frittata. Juicy cherry tomatoes dressed in olive oil, red-wine vinegar, and chopped parsley make the ideal colorful companions.

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cups)

  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced (⅓ cup)

  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 1 large ear)

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)

  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler, with a rack in upper third. Beat eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add beans and cook, stirring, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add shallot and corn; cook, stirring, until vegetables soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs; stir with a wooden spoon until large curds form and edges just begin to set, about 30 seconds.

  3. Transfer skillet to oven; broil until puffed and browning in spots and eggs are just set, about 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, toss tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Serve salad with frittata.
