Zucchini frittata with a creamy heart is a simple and delicious recipe.
The peculiarity of this frittata is that it’s cooked on the stove, so no need for the oven, reducing cooking times.
Perfect for those with little time in the kitchen, like most of us, and who want to reduce electricity consumption, which is always a good thing.
Zucchinis form a shell around a gooey, creamy filling of cheese and cooked ham.
A dish that’s wildly popular even with the little ones and a great way to get them to eat their vegetables.
Ideal to serve as a complete meal or as a second course.

Steps for Preparing the Zucchini Frittata with Creamy Heart
To prepare the delicious zucchini frittata WATCH THE VIDEO RECIPE
Start by thoroughly washing the zucchinis under running water. Remove the outer part with a peeler and pat dry with paper towel. Then grate them with a grater and squeeze them energetically with your hands to eliminate all the excess water.
Place them in a bowl along with the eggs and beat with a fork. Then add the flour, salt, and oregano and mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Oil a non-stick pan d. 24 and heat. Pour half the mixture and cook covered for about 5 minutes over low heat. Fill with cheese and cooked ham and pour the remaining mixture and cook for another 5-6 minutes covered over low heat.
Then, with the help of a lid, or a plate, turn to the other side. Cook for another 5 minutes and the frittata is ready to be served!
Storage and Tips
Zucchinis must be squeezed very well so that the mixture does not remain watery.
Choose organic zucchinis if possible.
Store in the fridge for two days and before serving, reheat in a pan for a few minutes.
