Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
