Ingredients

Zucchini Frittata

  • 2 medium zucchini Note 1
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese finely grated using a microplane zester
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 eggs free range
  • 300 ml/10 oz cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup cheese grated using a box grater

Mustard Yoghurt Sauce

  • ½ cup greek yoghurt
  • 2 teaspoon djion mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven: to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
  • Zucchini: trim the top and base of the zucchini and then use your food processor to thinly slice. Once done, transfer to large mixing bowl.
  • Seasoning: add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese to the zucchini and stir to combine. Then reserve some of the mix by transferring it to a small bowl.
  • Slice tray: line a slice tray with baking paper and then transfer in the seasoned zucchini. Spread this out so that it is in an even layer and all of the pieces face upwards.
  • Eggs: crack the eggs into a medium sized mixing jug and then use a fork to whisk them.
  • Cream and cheese: pour the cream into the whisked eggs, followed by the cheese and stir until thoroughly mixed together.
  • Egg mix: pour the wet egg mixture over the seasoned zucchini. Then gently tap the tray to remove any bubbles. Decorate the top of the frittata with the reserved zucchini pieces.
  • Oven bake: place the frittata into the oven on the middle shelf and bake for 30 minutes. Use oven mits to remove the frittata when cooked and place it onto a heatproof surface.
  • To serve: allow the frittata to cool for a couple of minutes before lifting it out of the slice tray using the baking paper and setting it onto a chopping board. Then take a sharp knife and cut it into uniform sized pieces. Sprinkle some finely chopped chives over the top and serve with mustard yogurt sauce (optional).

Mustard Yoghurt

  • Sauce: combine yoghurt and mustard in a small bowl and stir to combine, then add a little bit of black pepper and stir again until it is mixed in.

Notes

  • Note 1 Zucchini: use small to medium sized zucchini. Large size zucchini won't fit in the food processor funnel. You can use a mandolin or knife and chopping board to cut the zucchini if your food processor doesn't have the slice blade.
