Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Trim off the ends and cut it into thin half-moon slices.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the zucchini slices to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is softened and slightly golden.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the zucchini. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to set slightly.

Step 8

Gently stir and scramble the eggs and zucchini together until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the scramble and stir to combine.

Step 10

Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
