Zucchini Frittata (Simple & Easy) Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 Cups of zucchini grated
- 1 Small onion diced (roughly ½ cup)
- ¼ Cup of oil or butter
- 8 Large eggs
- ¼ Cup of heavy cream or whole milk
- ⅔ Cup of grated cheese of choice mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar, gruyere
- ½ Teaspoon of salt & pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉/204℃
- Remove the excess moisture from the zucchini: Place a few layers of paper towel (or a very clean towel) down and add the grated zucchini to the middle of it. Wrap the grated zucchini up in the towels and wring it out over your sink to remove any excess moisture. You don’t have to remove all of the moisture but make sure to wring out as much as you can.
- Sautee zucchini and onion: Heat the oil and/or butter in a large(10-inch) oven safe skillet. Once hot toss in the onion along with the zucchini and sautee both ingredients for roughly 8 to 10 minutes or until softened. If any liquid seeps out of the zucchini at this time then keep cooking until it has evaporated. Once that’s done take the skillet off the heat and let it cool.
- Make the frittata mixture: Whisk together eggs, milk, salt & pepper until thoroughly mixed in a medium-sized bowl. Then add the cheese along with the zucchini & onion (cooked & cooled) and stir everything together.
- Pour the frittata mixture into the same skillet you cooked the onion and zucchini.
- Bake: Place the skillet in your heated oven and let it bake undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. You will know that the frittata is done when the middle is set (no longer wiggling), and the edges are slightly browned up.
- Take the zucchini frittata out of your oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Slice it up and enjoy!
