  • 100 gOnion, diced
  • 2 cloveGarlic, minced
  • 30 gClarified butter
  • 30 mlMilk
  • 50 gHard cheese, grated
  • 1 tspSalt
  • ½ tspBlack pepper, ground

Equipment

hob, oven, knife, cutting board, mixing bowl, whisk, grater, spatula, oven-safe pan, oven mitts, serving plate

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
