    1

    Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    While the oven heats, wash and dice the zucchini into small pieces. Set aside.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

    4

    Add the diced zucchini to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté the vegetables for another 8-10 minutes until they soften and are slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally.

    5

    In a bowl, beat 6 eggs, then add 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of basil. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

    6

    Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies in the skillet, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

    7

    Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the edges start to set.

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.

    Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
