Tips:

  • Use a good quality non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat before adding the zucchini: This will help the zucchini cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much zucchini at once, it will not cook evenly. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary.
  • Season the zucchini with salt and pepper before cooking: This will help enhance the flavor of the zucchini.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender but still has a slight crunch: You don't want to overcook the zucchini or it will become mushy.
  • Use a combination of eggs and egg whites: This will help make the frittata lighter and fluffier.
  • Whisk the eggs and egg whites together until they are well combined: This will help prevent the frittata from becoming too dense.
  • Season the egg mixture with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices: This will help enhance the flavor of the frittata.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the cooked zucchini in the skillet: Be careful not to overfill the skillet or the frittata will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set: You can check the doneness of the frittata by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the frittata is done.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help it hold together better.
