For 4 serving

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis (approx. 500–600 g)
1 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
150 g cheese (e.g., hard cheese or mozzarella)
2 eggs
salt and black pepper to taste
herbs to taste (basil, thyme or oregano)
optional tablespoon of cream or yogurt to make it creamier

Preparation procedure

Wash the zucchinis and cut into thin slices or half-moons.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onion and sauté until golden. Add the garlic and sauté briefly, being careful not to let it turn bitter.
Add the sliced zucchini, salt and pepper, stir and let simmer over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until the zucchini softens.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, grated cheese and herbs in a bowl.
Once the zucchini is soft, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the eggs with the cheese. Mix quickly so the mixture combines but the eggs don't curdle too much. If you like, add a little cream or yogurt.
Finally, adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste and let sit for a few minutes with the lid on. Serve warm.
