Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams zucchini
- 2 medium onions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut them into small cubes or thin slices, depending on your preference.
Peel and finely slice the onions into thin half-moons.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté them for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent.
Add the zucchini to the pan with the onions. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, and stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the mixture cook gently for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. The zucchini should become soft and slightly caramelized while releasing some of its natural juices.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork.
Pour the beaten eggs over the zucchini and onion mixture in the pan. Stir continuously over low heat for 2–3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and incorporated into the dish.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
