Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Trim off the ends and grate it using a box grater or the large holes of a food processor.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the grated zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens and most of its moisture evaporates.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs over the zucchini in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir and scramble the egg mixture with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the zucchini scrambled eggs immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
