Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup halloumi cheese, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved for garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sauté the sliced zucchini and chopped onion until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle the diced halloumi cheese over the vegetables.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is slightly golden.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and cherry tomatoes if desired.
- Serve the frittata warm.
