- 4 green onion stalks chopped
- 2 cups shredded zucchini 1 large or 2 smaller zucchinis
- 12 leaves basil chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
Shred the zucchini with a box grater or a food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a colander with a large bowl underneath. Sprinkle with a little salt and allow some water to seep out of the zucchini, about 20 minutes. You can squeeze some of the water out with your hands if you’re in a hurry. This part can be completed ahead of time and the shredded zucchini can stay in your refrigerator overnight if you would like to do this recipe in stages.
In a large mixing bowl, add shredded zucchini, green onion, basil, cheddar cheese and salt. Stir to combine. Crack the eggs in a separate bowl and beat them. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the veggies and stir to combine all ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a 10” cast iron skillet heat 1 to 2 tablespoons grapeseed (or olive oil). Spread the oil around, making sure the sides are nicely oiled as well. Heat to medium then add the egg/zucchini mixture, and make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
Cook until the egg begins to cook to the sides of the skillet, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use a pot holder to place skillet in the oven. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until the center tests clean.
