Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, can be omitted for a dairy-free version)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), for garnish
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Skillet:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Add the sliced zucchinis to the skillet and sauté until they are lightly browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Season with a bit more salt and pepper.
- Cook the Frittata:
- Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini in the skillet, ensuring the eggs are evenly distributed. Cook on medium-low heat until the edges begin to set, about 5 minutes.
- Broil to Finish:
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top and place the skillet under the broiler in your oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden and the eggs have completely set.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve directly from the skillet with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top.
