Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash thoroughly. Trim off the ends and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk until well blended. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the garlic oil.
Sauté the zucchini and squash for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to develop a light golden color.
Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet to create space for the eggs.
Pour the whisked eggs into the cleared space in the skillet. Allow them to sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds, then gently scramble them using a spatula.
Cook the eggs until they are just set but still fluffy, mixing them intermittently with the vegetables to combine everything.
Remove the skillet from heat, taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
