Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 large leek
• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and prepare your vegetables: thinly slice the zucchini into rounds, dice the red bell pepper into small pieces, and clean and thinly slice the leek (white and light green parts only).

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and set aside.

Step 4

Add the olive oil to an oven-safe, non-stick skillet (10-12 inches) and heat over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced leek and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables, gently stirring to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed. Let the mixture cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and slightly golden on top.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to loosen the edges before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
