Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry zucchini with eggs? Prepare all the necessary products. It is preferable to take young zucchini, with thin skin and small seeds. From old zucchini you need to cut off the skin and remove the seeds. If the eggs have a bright orange yolk, this dish will look even more beautiful. Wash the zucchini well and dry. Wash the eggs well. Do not neglect this process — there is a lot of dirt and bacteria on the shell. Peel and chop the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Step 2
If you have young zucchini, you don’t have to peel the skin — it’s thin and also contains a lot of vitamins. Cut them into circles about 5 mm thick. It is better to peel large zucchini and remove large seeds. In this case, cut them into slices or cubes.
