Zucchini and Goat Cheese Frittata
Prep time: 30 minutes

2 medium zucchinis
8 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch-thick round slices. In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper.
In a heavy, ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini slices and cook for 5 minutes.
