Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the egg mixture. This will prevent the frittata from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overcook the frittata in the skillet before transferring it to the oven. It should be set but still slightly runny on top.
  • Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the frittata from the skillet before transferring it to the oven. This will ensure that it doesn't stick to the pan.
