• Large eggs - 4
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh basil - 5 grams, chopped (optional)

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the grated zucchini to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini in the skillet, ensuring even distribution.
6. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, until the edges begin to set.
