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
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).
- 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.
