Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Trim off the ends and cut it into thin half-moon slices.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is softened and slightly golden.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the zucchini. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to set slightly.
Gently stir and scramble the eggs and zucchini together until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the scramble and stir to combine.
Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
