Chef's Note

The key to a perfect frittata is removing excess moisture from the zucchini to prevent a soggy result. For a make-ahead option, bake the frittata the night before, refrigerate, and reheat individual slices in the morning.

Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 2 medium zucchini

  • 1 small yellow onion

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 4 oz feta cheese

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • 2

    Wash and trim the ends of the 2 medium zucchini, then grate them on the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  • 3

    Finely dice 1 small yellow onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic.

  • 4

    Finely chop 2 tablespoons each of fresh dill, chives, and parsley.

  • 5

    In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

  • 6

    Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 7

    Add the squeezed grated zucchini to the skillet, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini has softened and most moisture has evaporated.

  • 8

    While the vegetables cook, in a large bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

  • 9

    Stir in the chopped herbs (dill, chives, and parsley).

  • 10

    Crumble 4 oz of feta cheese and stir half of it into the egg mixture.

  • 11

    Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and onion mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top.

  • 12

    Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.

  • 13

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is puffed and just set in the center.

  • 14

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
