Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and trim the zucchini, then grate them using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture by pressing the grated zucchini between paper towels.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the grated zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the cooked zucchini mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
Grease the same skillet with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the zucchini-egg mixture into the skillet and spread evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped parsley or basil, if desired. Enjoy!
