Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is slightly tender and begins to brown.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and basil until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini in the skillet, gently shaking the pan to distribute it throughout.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the egg mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
