Method
PREHEAT your oven to 200°C fan forced.
LIGHTLY SAUTE the zucchini, including the baby ones for 6 minutes over a gentle heat with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt until just tender. Fold in the basil leaves, then set aside.
LIGHTLY BEAT the eggs with a pinch of salt and the parmesan, then pour over the zucchini and basil in the pan.
DECORATE the top with zucchini flowers and dollops of goat’s cheese.
BAKE for 10 - 15 minutes or until the frittata is just set. You don’t want to overcook your eggs.
REMOVE from the oven and squeeze over a little lemon juice before serving.
ENJOY WARM or cold.
Serve with generous dollops of thick Greek yoghurt and extra lemon plus good quality sourdough or flatbread. Feta can be replaced with ricotta, buffalo mozzarella or silken tofu if dairy free.
