Brunch + Breakfast

Zucchini Frittata

This breakfast will make you feel like a fancy chef, but it's actually quite simple. The finished product fills up an entire pan, and surprisingly half the pan is one serving. If you're looking for a very filling breakfast, this is the one. Feel free to tweak this, adding in different vegetables or protein sources.

Ingredients

SERVINGS:
2

1 small-medium zucchini, sliced very thin

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1/4 cup cooked chicken sausage, diced or crumbled depending on the sausage you choose

1 garlic clove, minced

6 eggs

2 Tbsp milk

1/4 cup parmesan cheese​

Salt and pepper

1 tsp basil​

1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.​Heat olive oil in an oven-safe nonstick pan over medium heat. Saute the sausage until browned and then add in the onions until mostly cooked. Add the zucchini to the pan and cook for another about 3-4 minutes.Meanwhile, in a blender mix the eggs, milk, garlic, salt and pepper. Arrange the sausage, onions and zucchini evenly in the pan and pour the egg mixture on top. Don't stir, but continue cooking, lifting the edges to allow most of the eggs to cook. When the middle is still slightly liquid, sprinkle the top with basil and parmesan cheese and place the entire pan in the oven. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are set. Switch the oven to broil for about 3 minutes to brown the cheese on top.
