Print Recipe

A light and flavorful frittata featuring zucchini, corn, creamy feta, and fresh herbs, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (preferably Greek feta like Dodoni or Athenos)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil
  • Pinch of thyme
  • ½ small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons milk or cream for richer texture

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the top.
  2. Thinly slice the zucchini and finely chop the onion, garlic, and herbs.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the zucchini and corn kernels. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini softens and corn is warmed through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. In a mixing bowl, beat 6 large eggs with salt, pepper, and the optional splash of milk or cream. Stir in half of the chopped herbs.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed veggies in the skillet. Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs.
  8. Reduce heat to low and cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny.
  9. Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly on top.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the oven under the broiler. Broil for 2-4 minutes until the top is puffed and golden with some brown spots. The frittata should feel firm when gently shaken.
  11. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining fresh herbs on top.
  12. Let the frittata rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Cook on low heat to avoid burning. Thinly slice zucchini to prevent excess moisture. Watch carefully during broiling to avoid burning. Fresh herbs add brightness; add some to eggs and some as garnish.
