- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is slightly tender and begins to brown.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and basil until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini in the skillet, gently shaking the pan to distribute it throughout.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the egg mixture.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Step 10
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Step 11
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy!
