Zucchini and Tomato Frittata 🍳🥒🍅


 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, prepare a greased baking dish.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the zucchini slices and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until slightly softened.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the tomatoes and sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.

Step 4: Assemble the Frittata

  1. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  3. Let it cook on the stovetop over low heat for 2–3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and the top is golden.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  1. Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve warm.
