Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 large potato
• 6 large eggs
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice them into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potato and slice it into thin rounds as well.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 4

In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the potato slices in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender but not browned.

Step 6

Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and lightly golden.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork until smooth. Add the salt, black pepper, and parsley, and stir to combine.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, then pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, making sure the vegetables are evenly distributed.

Step 10

Cook the frittata on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly cooked.

Step 11

Preheat your oven broiler on high. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to cook the top of the frittata until golden and fully set. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 12

Carefully remove the skillet from the broiler and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.

Step 13

Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
