🍽️ Cooking Methods
Oven method:
The easiest option—bake until completely set.
Skillet method:
Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled nonstick skillet, cover, and cook over low-to-medium heat until the eggs are set.
Air-fryer method:
Use an appropriate heat-safe dish and cook until the center is fully set, checking frequently because cooking times vary between appliances.
💡 Helpful Tips
- Squeezing the zucchini is important because excess water can make the dish soggy.
- Add mushrooms, spinach, corn, or cooked chicken for variety.
- Use your favorite cheese for a different flavor.
