Zucchini Frittata is an easy breakfast, brunch or dinner. Made with eggs, zucchini, milk and cheese this recipe is delicious and will leave you satisfied. A perfect way to use up some of that excess zucchini from the garden!
My family has an obsession with egg dishes. My kids absolutely love them. I could put almost anything in a frittata and my kids would eat it, no questions asked. I love frittatas because they are so versatile. You can use any veggie you have lying around and it will be delicious. That's exactly what I did with this Zucchini Frittata recipe. I have so much zucchini from my garden right now that it's actually quite ridiculous. How does one plant produce 3 zucchinis every other day? Literally that is what is happening! I will have zucchini in my freezer until next summer for sure!
What you Need to Make Zucchini Frittata
- Eggs
- Milk
- Shredded Zucchini
- Shredded Co-Jack Cheese
- Dried Chives
- Salt and Pepper
Can I add other vegetables or ingredients?
Yes you sure can! You can add onions, peppers, mushrooms, cooked sausage or ham. Really whatever you have, you could add. I wouldn't exceed more than 2 cups total of veggies or meat. If you add too much it will be more like a casserole rather than a frittata.
Tips for using shredded zucchini
- No need to peel the zucchini.
- If the zucchini is less than 10 inches long and slender you don't need to take out the seeds.
- Use a hand grater for small zucchinis, or use a food processor and shred a lot all at once.
- Place the shredded zucchini in a paper towel lined colander. This will help absorb some of the excess water in the zucchini.
- After measuring out how much shredded zucchini you need, place it on a paper towel or clean hand towel and squeeze out any extra water you can.
How to Make Easy Zucchini Frittata
This is a simple, and I mean super simple recipe to whip up.
First add the eggs and milk to a large bowl and whisk until smooth and somewhat frothy.
Next, stir in the zucchini, chives and some salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9 inch pie plate or square baking dish.
Then top it with the shredded cheese.
Bake the zucchini fritatta in a 375° oven for 35-40 minutes until the eggs are completely set and cooked through.
Let the frittata rest and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite toast and fruit! Enjoy!
