Handy Tips
This frittata also would work extremely well using pumpkin or sweet potato.
Method
- Thinly slice enough zucchini lengthwise with a sharp knife or mandolin to achieve 12 slices. Reserve slices and grate the remaining zucchini. Any scraps can be finely chopped.
- Heat butter in a heavy based, ovenproof 23cm frying pan until foamy. Add onion and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft. Add grated/chopped zucchini and cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until zucchini is soft. Season well with salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat together eggs, milk, cheese, parsley and half the feta and season to taste. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and top with thinly sliced zucchini. Cook, uncovered, over low-medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until the underside is golden and almost cooked through. Top with remaining feta and walnuts and place the pan under a hot grill (200°C) for a further 5-10 minutes or until frittata has set and the walnuts are browned. Serve cut into wedges with a peppery rocket salad.
