Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchini, grated

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1 French baguette or whole-grain bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces

Olive oil, for brushing

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or using a silicone baking mat.

    Prepare the zucchini: Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle it lightly with salt. Allow it to drain for 10-15 minutes, which will help remove excess moisture. After draining, use your hands to squeeze the zucchini, ensuring you remove as much liquid as possible.

      Make the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Once combined, fold in the drained zucchini, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and chopped green onions until everything is well combined.

        Toast the bread: Arrange the slices of bread on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil on both sides. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is just golden and crispy.

          Fill and bake: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Use a tablespoon to generously scoop the frittata mixture onto each toast slice, spreading it slightly to promote even cooking.

            Bake the frittata toasts: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the egg topping is set and the surface is golden brown.

              Garnish and serve: After baking, take the toasts out of the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Top each toast with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch. Serve the Mini Zucchini Frittata Toasts warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
