Frittata di Zucchine (Zucchini Frittata)

Yields4 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins

 6 large eggs
 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
 1 small onion, finely chopped
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
 tablespoons olive oil
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
 Optional: red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
1

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you plan to finish the frittata in the oven.

2

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent. Add the zucchini slices and cook until they are just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

3

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper.

4

Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed zucchini in the skillet. Stir gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook over medium heat until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.

5

Bake (Optional): To finish cooking the top, place the skillet in the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. Alternatively, you can cover the skillet with a lid and let the frittata cook through on the stovetop.

6

Serve: Let the frittata cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. It can be enjoyed hot, at room temperature, or even cold.
