Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 eggs, lightly beaten with a splash of water
  • 5 - 6 garlic cloves, chopped fine
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced
  • 2 zucchini, sliced to 1/4 inch thickness
  • Mozzarella, sliced thin
  • Fresh Parmesan or Romano cheese, for grating
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 tbs. capers, rough chopped
  • Fresh basil, for garnish
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium sized cast iron pan, 10 inch pan.
  2. Place the sliced zucchini and 1 - 2 tsp. of olive oil in the heated pan.  Sprinkle the zucchini with sugar and salt.
  3. Let the zucchini get a nice golden color and slight char.  When this is achieved, place the zucchini on a plate.
  4. Place the sliced onion and garlic in the heated cast iron pan.  Sprinkle with sugar and salt.
  5. Add 2 tsp. of olive oil and let the onion and garlic get a nice golden color.
  6. When the onion looks beautiful, remove from the pan and place in a plate.
  7. In the same heated cast iron pan drizzle about 2 tsp. of olive oil.  Pour just enough of the egg batter to cover the pan.  Move the pan around to cover the bottom with the egg.
  8. Allow the egg to set and cook through.  Place the mozzarella to cover the egg, pieces of the prepared zucchini and the onion mixture.
  9. Fold over when the mozzarella is softened and place on a platter.
  10. Repeat this process until the egg mixture is used up.
  11. Garnish with the chopped scallions, capers, fresh basil, fresh ground black pepper and grated cheese.
