Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the zucchini, then grate them using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture by pressing the grated zucchini between paper towels.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the grated zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Stir the cooked zucchini mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
Step 6
Grease the same skillet with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the zucchini-egg mixture into the skillet and spread evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped parsley or basil, if desired. Enjoy!
