Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Grease two ramekins or oven-safe dishes with a little olive oil. Divide the cooked zucchini mixture evenly between the ramekins.
- Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini in each ramekin, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
- 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.
