Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly, trim the ends, and slice them into thin rounds.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until the zucchini softens and starts to brown slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the zucchini is cooked, spread it evenly across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini, ensuring it covers the vegetables entirely.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata uncovered for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
To finish cooking, place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the frittata is golden and fully set. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy!
