Detailed Method of Preparation

  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until aromatic.
  2. Add the sliced zucchini and cook until they're tender but still retain a slight crunch.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Stir in half of the grated cheddar cheese.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini in the skillet, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Cover the skillet and let the frittata cook on low heat until the edges are set but the center is slightly runny.
  7. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven (350°F/175°C) and bake for 10 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden brown.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Proven Tips for Culinary Success

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or sautéed mushrooms.
  • A side salad with a light vinaigrette complements the frittata beautifully.
