Ingredients:
- 3 cups (450g) zucchini, diced into ½ inch cubes
- 1 cup (150g) yellow onion, finely diced
- ½ cup (75g) red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
- 1 tsp (6g) coarse sea salt
- 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
- 2 large (100g) eggs, beaten
- ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, unstrained
- ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- ½ tsp (3g) black pepper
- ¼ tsp (1g) nutmeg
Instructions:
- Toss the diced zucchini with the coarse sea salt in a colander. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to press firmly, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until the onions are translucent and smell sweet (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 60 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, Parmesan, parsley, lemon juice, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Fold in the sautéed vegetables and the squeezed zucchini until everything is evenly coated in the velvety binder.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x9 inch baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, then switch to the broiler for 2–3 minutes until the top is mahogany-colored and bubbling.
