Ingredients

• 2 medium courgette (zucchini)
• 6 large eggs
• 100 grams feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the courgettes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated courgettes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) to the eggs and whisk until combined.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the grated courgettes to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and any remaining liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Spread the courgette mixture evenly across the skillet and reduce the heat to low.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the courgettes, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs spread evenly. Scatter the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the top.

Step 8

Cook on the stove over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.

Step 9

Preheat your oven’s grill (broiler) setting to high. Place the skillet under the grill for 2-4 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and lightly golden on top. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
