Ingredients
Directions
- Trim the zucchini and cut into quarters lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and cut into ½-inch cubes.
- Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a frying pan. Crush the garlic with a garlic press (or mince with a knife) and add to the pan along with the diced zucchini.
- Stir-fry over high heat for 2 min. Add salt (in moderation) and pepper.
- Beat the eggs together with 2 tbsp of water. Mix cheese and basil into the eggs.
- Add the egg mixture to the zucchini.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook the frittata for 6 min., or until the bottom is golden brown. Cover the pan with a large plate and turn the pan upside down to flip the frittata onto the plate. Be careful, this can get messy!
- Put the remaining olive oil in the pan and slide in the frittata, cooked side up. Cook for another 5 min., or until done.
Recipe Tips
Try other fresh herbs, like oregano or dill, instead of basil.
Change up the texture by using only 1 zucchini and adding about 1 cup of fresh broccoli, chopped, to the pan when cooking the zucchini.
