Courgette, Mint and Feta Frittata
Description
Courgette, Mint and Feta Frittata starts by sautéing thinly sliced courgette (zucchini) and diced shallots in olive oil until tender. Separately, eggs are whisked with whole milk, salt, pepper, chopped fresh mint, and crumbled light feta cheese. This egg mixture is poured over the cooked vegetables in an ovenproof pan and gently cooked on the hob for several minutes.
The nearly set eggs are then placed under a preheated grill to finish cooking and brown the top. Additional courgette slices and feta may be added before grilling for visual appeal. The finished frittata is creamy yet set, with the courgettes providing mild sweetness and texture, feta adding salty creaminess, and mint contributing a fresh herbal note.
The recipe suggests adjusting egg quantity depending on pan size to ensure proper thickness and cooking. Using an ovenproof pan is essential for the grilling step. The frittata can be served warm and works well for breakfast, brunch, or light meals.
