CAULIFLOWER AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Ingredients

  • ​8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup light cream (10%)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 cups small cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups thinly sliced zucchini (1/8 inch)

  2. Preheat broiler.
  3. Heat oil in a large deep ovenproof non-stick frypan over medium heat. Add cauliflower and zucchini; sauté until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Pour egg mixture over cauliflower mixture and cook, lifting edges of frittata occasionally with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg mixture to run underneath.
