Equipment

  • 10 inch Cast Iron Pan (not mandatory)

Ingredients

  • 10 eggs
  • 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill fronds + more for topping
  • 1 tbsp solid virgin coconut oil
  • 2 cups 3/4 to 1in. diced fresh zucchini
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 4-5 whole zucchini/squash blossoms (cleaned + stamen/pistil removed)
  • fresh dill flowers for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Crack 10 eggs into a bowl with the coconut milk, salt + pepper + whisk until frothy. Add in 2 tbsp dill fronds and whisk until incorporated.
  • Heat a 10 in cast iron (or another oven-safe pan) with coconut oil over high heat. Toss in diced zucchini + stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently enough to not burn but not too much to allow zucchini to get some good golden color for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt + pepper after cooking (salt draws out liquid from zucchini which would affect browning).
  • Add in garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute or less.
  • Turn heat down to medium + add in egg mixture. Cook for about one minute to begin cooking the eggs.
  • Arrange + nestle in squash blossoms in a circular manner around the frittata. Use your discretion on how many will fit. I used 4.
  • Transfer cast iron skillet into preheated oven + cook for about 17-20 minutes until middle is firm to the touch + eggs are set.
  • Remove from oven + top with dill flowers and more chopped dill. Sprinkle with more salt + pepper if desired.
  • Enjoy!
