Zucchini fried with egg

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry zucchini with eggs? Prepare all the necessary products. It is preferable to take young zucchini, with thin skin and small seeds. From old zucchini you need to cut off the skin and remove the seeds. If the eggs have a bright orange yolk, this dish will look even more beautiful. Wash the zucchini well and dry. Wash the eggs well. Do not neglect this process - there is a lot of dirt and bacteria on the shell. Peel and chop the garlic cloves.

2. STEP 2

   

   If you have young zucchini, you don’t have to peel the skin - it’s thin and also contains a lot of vitamins. Cut them into circles about 5 mm thick. It is better to peel large zucchini and remove large seeds. In this case, cut them into slices or cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. It can be absolutely anything: from budget sunflower to expensive olive. But if you are going to fry in oil, it must be refined - only such oil will not burn in the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the chopped zucchini in the pan and fry them a little, literally for 3-5 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add chopped garlic clove to the zucchini. I put it through a press, but you can grate the garlic or chop it with a knife.

6. STEP 6

   

   Salt the zucchini. At this stage, you can add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the pan: ground pepper, herbes de Provence, rosemary, thyme, chili pepper, onion or more garlic. Choose according to your taste!

7. STEP 7

   

   Beat raw eggs into a bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Salt the eggs a little - keep in mind that you have already salted the zucchini.

9. STEP 9

   

   Beat the egg mixture with a fork. By the way, here you can add a little curry to it to tint the mixture.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini in the pan.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cook the zucchini over low heat until desired consistency. Make sure that the eggs are completely cooked and do not remain liquid. You may need to cover the pan with a lid for a couple of minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Serve the dish immediately. You can sprinkle it with fresh chopped herbs. Bon appetit!

Yummy! Baking zucchini with cheese in sour cream is also very tasty.

I love zucchini in any form. Fried zucchini with egg was also very tasty. Seasoned them with freeze-dried garlic and dried thyme (I went a little too far with the thyme), sprinkled finely chopped green onions on top. Cooked with the lid closed. Delicious! During the season, young zucchini can be cooked instead of an omelet.
