Ingredients:

1 cup basil leaves
7g
1/2 cup fresh parsley
30g
1 cup scallions
50g
2 zucchini
600g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup greek yogurt
120g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
8 oz broccoli
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tsp tarragon (estragon)
5g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Thinly slice the scallions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the basil leaves and parsley.
- Roughly chop the broccoli into small florets.
- Zest the lemon to obtain 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
2. Cook Vegetables:
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the scallions, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, and minced garlic into the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, tarragon, basil leaves, and parsley until thoroughly combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
4. Combine and Cook:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Stir gently to ensure that the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat until the edges start to set, about 5 minutes.
5. Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is cooked through and the top is lightly golden. You can check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
6. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly.
- Slice and serve warm. Optionally, you can garnish with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and vegetables. Fresh ingredients significantly enhance the taste and nutritional value of the frittata.

- Make sure to thoroughly whisk the eggs and Greek yogurt together. This will ensure a uniform texture and fluffy consistency.

- Cook the vegetables until they are just tender. Overcooking can result in a mushy texture, which is less desirable in a frittata.

- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps to set the eggs and makes slicing easier.

- Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs to customize the frittata to your liking. Spinach, kale, or bell peppers can be great additions.

Enjoy your Super-greens Frittata either warm or at room temperature. This dish is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, and it also makes for a beautiful centerpiece on any breakfast or brunch table. Feel free to pair it with a simple side salad or some toasted bread for a complete meal.
