Ingredients
6 large eggs
½ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup shredded mozzarella or feta cheese
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried oregano or basil (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using an oven-safe skillet, there’s no need for a baking dish.
2. Saute the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 2 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and zucchini slices, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and oregano/basil. Stir in the shredded cheese.
4. Combine & Bake
Pour the egg mixture over the sauteed vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes on the stovetop until the edges begin to set. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top if using.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
5. Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, then slice and serve warm.
