Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Oven (if finishing under the broiler)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup zucchini thinly sliced (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs optional, such as parsley or dill

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Prepare the Ingredients:
  • Wash and slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Finely chop the onion and crumble the feta cheese. Set everything aside.
  • Cook the Vegetables:
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  • Add the zucchini slices to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender and slightly golden.
  • Beat the Eggs:
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper here as well. If you like, you can also mix in some chopped fresh herbs for added flavor.
  • Combine Everything:
  • Once the zucchini is cooked, lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the zucchini and onions in the skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
  • Cook the Frittata:
  • Let the frittata cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to set. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  • Finish Cooking:
  • If your skillet is oven-safe, transfer it to the preheated oven (350°F or 175°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes until the top is set. Alternatively, you can finish cooking it on the stove with a lid for about 5 more minutes. For a golden top, you can also broil it for 2-3 minutes, but watch it closely to avoid burning.
  • Let it Stand:
  • Once cooked, remove the frittata from the heat and let it stand for about 5 minutes. This helps it set further and makes it easier to slice.
  • Serve:
  • Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed plain or with a simple salad on the side.
  • Variations
  • Vegetable Variations: You can add other vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or cherry tomatoes for different flavors and textures.
  • Herb Variations: Experiment with different herbs such as basil or chives for a unique twist.
  • Cheese Variations: Swap feta for goat cheese or cheddar to change up the flavor profile.
