Serves 2

Ingredients

Olive oil
1 tablespoon
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Zucchini
1 medium, grated
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Eggs
4 large
Milk
1/4 cup
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, grated
Fresh parsley
for garnish, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated zucchini, cooking until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
  4. Grease two ramekins or oven-safe dishes with a little olive oil. Divide the cooked zucchini mixture evenly between the ramekins.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini in each ramekin, filling them about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic while sautéing.
  • 💡 Feel free to incorporate other vegetables, such as bell peppers or spinach, for added flavor and nutrition.
  • 💡 You can substitute the Parmesan cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
