Mediterranean Zucchini and Tomato Frittata

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C).

Sauté the zucchini: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (or air fryer-safe dish) over medium heat. Add zucchini slices and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the Parmesan and half of the feta cheese.

Tips for the Perfect Frittata

✔ Use fresh ingredients – Fresh zucchini, ripe cherry tomatoes, and high-quality cheese make a big difference in flavor.
✔ Don’t overcook – The frittata should be just set in the center and slightly golden on top. Overcooking can make it dry.
✔ Customize it – Add spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for extra Mediterranean flair.
✔ Dairy-free option – Swap the milk for unsweetened almond milk and use dairy-free cheese or nutritional yeast.
✔ Make it ahead – This frittata stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
