Frittata Con Zucchine

Ingredients

Zucchini

2 medium, sliced thinly

Eggs

6 large

Parmesan cheese

1 cup, grated

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Fresh basil

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While this step is optional, it can help achieve a perfectly cooked frittata with a lovely golden top.
2. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut them into thin slices, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
4. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced zucchini and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly golden. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed zucchini, ensuring that the zucchini slices are well-distributed throughout. Allow it to cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
6. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown on top, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped basil for added flavor and a pop of color.
8. Serve the Frittata Con Zucchine warm or at room temperature, enjoying it alongside a fresh salad or slices of crusty bread for a delightful meal.
