Ingredients

2 small cloves garlic

Olive oil, for sauteing

1 medium zucchini

1/2 bunch basil

8 eggs

2 tablespoons milk

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler.
  2. Start by crushing some garlic and heating it in some olive oil in a medium nonstick saute pan on the stove. While that is heating up, very thinly slice the zucchini on a mandoline. When the oil and garlic are heated, tear some basil into the pan and add all the sliced zucchini. Cook until the zucchini is tender, but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Blend eggs in a blender with a little bit of milk and some salt and pepper. Blend on the highest speed.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into saute pan and let it sit for 1 minute. When there isn't much loose egg left in the pan, grate some Parmesan on top and place pan in the broiler for 1 minute.
  5. Take pan out of broiler, let it cool and set in pan for 5 minutes. When cool invert a plate on top of pan and turn over. Slice and serve.

Loved the recipe for the foundation of my own frittata based on what I had on hand. Would've used 2 medium zucchini if I hadn't read this. Added shallots and green onions,substituted cilantro for basil, and 4 cheese Mexican blend for Parmesan. I cooked everything longer than recipe zuc and shallots for 4 mins. Let eggs cook on top of stove until almost cooked but broiler was a must. Perfectly browned crunchy top. Would do this again with all my leftover veg.
