Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 stalks green onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or line it with silicone or paper baking liners.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater, then place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent soggy frittatas.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Finely chop the green onion and fresh parsley. Add them to the egg mixture along with the grated zucchini, stirring to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

Using a spoon or a ladle, evenly divide the mixture among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed up and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the frittatas from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges if needed, then remove from the tin.

Step 8

Serve warm, at room temperature, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving if desired.
