Calories: 150kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 average sized zucchini ends trimmed and cut into slices
- 7 large eggs
- 10 cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 6 leaves basil leaves torn into small pieces
- 2 ounces feta cheese 60g)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Turn the grill (broiler) onto high and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in skillet (broiler proof) over med-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the zucchini in a single layer. Cook, turning once, until golden on both sides. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel.
- Add the other tablespoon olive oil to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper (to taste), stir in the cooked zucchini and then pour into the skillet. Use a spatula to make sure the zucchini are in a single layer.
- Cook slowly until the frittata is mostly set (about 8 minutes). It should still be a little runny on top. Add in the cherry tomatoes, cut side up, and the basil - pushing them into the egg mixture. Scatter the feta cheese on top .
- Pop the skillet under the broiler until puffy and golden (about 2 mins) and remove from heat.
- Slide the frittata onto a cutting board and allow to cool for about 15 mins before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store
Allow the frittata to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This can also be frozen.
To freeze allow it to cool completely, slice into individual serving sizes, wrap each slice in cling wrap or aluminum foil, pop into a freezer-friendly container, and freeze for up to 3 months.
Variations
Use whatever herbs and vegetables you have on hand.
Basil, dill, parsley, summer squash or bacon would all make great additions to frittata.
