Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 2/3 cup half and half
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet. Add sliced zucchini and red onion. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is beginning to soften. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- While the zucchini is cooking, add the eggs, half and half, fresh dill, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to a bowl; whisk until incorporated.
- Once the zucchini and onions are soft, pour the egg mixture over the zucchini into the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently until the edges begin to set; about 2 minutes. Dollop the ricotta over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake until the center is set or when its internal temperature is at 160 degrees F; about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the skillet for a few minutes. Serve!
