Instructions
- Mise En Place
Gather and measure all ingredients; set out a knife, board, bowl, whisk, grater, spatula, and a medium oven-safe pan. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Cut Vegetables
Slice zucchini into half-rounds, dice onion, mince garlic, and grate hard cheese; keep the vegetables in separate piles. · 5 min
What to look for: Zucchini is evenly sliced, onion is small diced, and cheese is finely grated.
- Soften Aromatics
Melt clarified butter in the oven-safe pan on medium heat, then fry onion and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent. · 2 min
What to look for: Onion looks glossy and pale, and garlic smells sweet without browning.
- Dry Zucchini
Add zucchini and a pinch of salt, then sauté for 8 minutes, stirring often, until softened and the released moisture evaporates. · 8 min
What to look for: The pan looks dry, and zucchini has lightly golden edges instead of pooling liquid.
- Whisk Eggs
Whisk eggs with milk, remaining salt, and black pepper in a bowl until the yolks and whites are fully blended. · 2 min
What to look for: The mixture is uniform yellow with no visible streaks of white.
- Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven while the zucchini finishes cooking, so the frittata can move straight from the hob to baking. · 5 min
What to look for: The oven indicator shows it has reached the set temperature.
- Add Egg
Pour the egg mixture over the dry vegetables, tilt the pan to spread it evenly, and scatter grated hard cheese over the top. · 1 min
What to look for: Egg surrounds the vegetables evenly, and cheese covers the surface in a thin layer.
- Set Edges
Cook the frittata on the hob for 2 minutes until the edges turn opaque while the center still looks loose and glossy. · 2 min
What to look for: A pale cooked ring forms around the edge, while the middle remains shiny.
- Bake Frittata
Bake in the preheated 180°C / 356°F oven for 12-15 minutes until the top is golden and the center is just set. · 15 min
What to look for: The top is lightly golden, puffed in places, and no liquid egg wobbles in the center.
- Serve Warm
Rest the frittata for 3 minutes, then loosen the edges, cut into 4 wedges, and serve warm straight from the pan. · 3 min
What to look for: Slices hold their shape, with visible zucchini and a lightly browned cheese top.
