Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by washing the zucchini and slicing it thinly. Chop the onion finely and set both aside.

Whisk the Eggs

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk together until well combined and frothy.

Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then, add the sliced zucchini and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Combine Vegetables and Egg Mixture

Once the zucchini is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, making sure to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.

Cook the Frittata

Let the frittata cook on low heat for about 10-12 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges start to set, but the center is still slightly jiggly.

Finish Under the Broiler (Optional)

For a beautiful golden top, you can place the skillet under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes. Just keep a close eye to prevent burning!

Let it Stand

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the frittata stand for about 5 minutes. This allows it to set up a bit more.

Slice and Serve

Using a spatula, gently lift the frittata from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cut it into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Variations

Add Protein: You can add cooked bacon, sausage, or even diced ham for a heartier dish.

Vegetable Mix: Swap zucchini for other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.

Cheese Choices: Try using different cheeses such as goat cheese or cheddar for varied flavors.

Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the milk with almond or soy milk, and use a dairy-free cheese.
