Zucchini frittata
Description
This recipe begins by sautéing thinly sliced zucchini, diced red onion, and minced garlic in olive oil until the zucchini softens and develops light browning without becoming mushy. The cooked vegetables are combined with beaten eggs, chopped parsley, and freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Toscano cheese seasoned with salt and pepper.
The mixture is poured into a heated skillet with olive oil and cooked briefly on the stove until the bottom starts to brown. Then, it is transferred to a preheated oven to bake until the top is fully set. The result is a softly textured frittata with a golden exterior and rich, herbaceous flavor enhanced by the cheese.
This dish can be served warm or at room temperature and works well as a light meal or accompaniment to a salad.
