Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Trim off the ends and grate it using a box grater or the large holes of a food processor.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the grated zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens and most of its moisture evaporates.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs over the zucchini in the skillet.

Step 8

Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir and scramble the egg mixture with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the zucchini scrambled eggs immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
