Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure with our bacon-infused zucchini parmesan frittata - a perfect blend of indulgence and wholesome goodness.

Ingredients 2 tbsp Olive Oil. 1 cup chopped bacon. 2 small zucchini. 8 large eggs. 3 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan. 2 tsp freshly chopped parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.

Method Preheat oven to 180 ° In a non-stick pan or baking dish (22cm) add the olive oil, chopped bacon and cook zuchini until golden brown. Stirring often so they don't burn or stick to the pan. While the zucchini and bacon are sauteeing, in a medium bowl beat together the eggs and parmesan cheese, stir in the parsley and pepper. Then pour the mixture into the pan with the cooked zucchini and bacon, stir gently to combine. Place pan in pre-heated oven and bake for 20 minutes.  The frittata is done when the eggs are puffed and opaque in color.   It should wiggle just a tiny bit in the center (don't worry it will continue to cook even when it's removed from the stove). Let rest for 15 minutes slice, serve and enjoy.

And now for a bonus we are adding a lovely Olive and Tomato Panzanella Salad and we hope you just love it.
