Print Recipe

A quick and easy Mediterranean-inspired frittata featuring shredded zucchini, creamy feta, and fresh dill, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half (can substitute almond milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing zucchini and greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and dry a medium zucchini. Shred it finely using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shredded zucchini and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but not browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add salt, pepper, and baking powder (if using) and whisk again.
  5. Stir the cooled zucchini into the egg mixture. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh dill.
  6. Pour the mixture back into the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until edges start to set but the center remains runny.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed, golden around edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Squeeze out zucchini moisture thoroughly to avoid a watery frittata. Use fresh dill for best flavor. If the top browns too quickly in the oven, tent with foil. For extra fluffiness, separate eggs and whip whites to stiff peaks before folding in.
