Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat ½ tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 8-inch nonstick omelet pan and add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is very soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and the zucchini, and cook, stirring often, until the zucchini has wilted, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
-
Beat the eggs in a medium bowl and add the almond milk, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the onion and zucchini mixture and mix well. Clean and dry the pan.
-
Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the omelet pan. When a tiny bit of egg dropped into the pan sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs, filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently and tilt it, lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatulat to let the liquid eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. After the first few minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet so that the bottom doesn’t burn, but turns golden
-
Eat it hot, or cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into wedges to pack up and easily transport.
