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!
