Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare all your ingredients by slicing the zucchini thinly, mincing the garlic, chopping the dill, and crumbling the feta cheese.
2. Whisking the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cooking the Zucchini: Heat a large oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with a short spray of cooking spray oil. Once the pan is heated, add the sliced zucchini and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
4. Adding Garlic & Peas: Add the minced garlic and peas to the pan with the zucchini. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
5. Combining: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently shake the pan to ensure the eggs are distributed evenly around the veggies. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
6. Cooking the Frittata: Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
7. Baking: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
8. Serving: Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and healthy zucchini, feta, and dill frittata!
