Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly, trim the ends, and slice them into thin rounds.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until the zucchini softens and starts to brown slightly.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Once the zucchini is cooked, spread it evenly across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini, ensuring it covers the vegetables entirely.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata uncovered for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
Step 7
To finish cooking, place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the frittata is golden and fully set. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy!
