Cheddar and Zucchini Frittat
This frittata is made with cheddar cheese and zucchini and is quick and easy to prepare. With just 115 calories per serving, this is a guilt free meal.
Ingredients:
- One cup of thawed or chilled egg product, or four eggs
- Finely shred ½ cup of reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- Two teaspoons of freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, ground
- One-half teaspoon of salt
- two tsp olive oil
- 12 ounces of lengthwise halved and sliced zucchini
- Four thinly sliced green onions.
Directions:
- Adjust an oven rack to the top third and preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the eggs, cheese, half of the parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Put aside Heat the olive oil in a 9- to 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Stir often and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until zucchini and green onions are just soft.
- Scatter the egg mixture over the veggies with caution. Turn down the heat to medium. Run a spatula around the skillet’s edge as the mixture hardens, raising the egg mixture so that the uncooked portion flows below. Cook for a further five minutes or until the egg mixture is almost set, raising the edges (the top will be damp). As needed, turn down the heat to avoid overbrowning.
- Put the frying pan inside the oven. Bake for approximately five minutes, or until the frittata is set and has a golden crust. Add the final two tablespoons of parsley on top. Chop into wedges. Warm up and serve.
