Step 1:
How to fry zucchini with egg? Prepare all the necessary products. Zucchini is preferable to take young, with a thin skin and small seeds. From old zucchini, you need to cut the skin and remove the seeds. If the yolk of the eggs is bright orange, this dish will look even more beautiful. Wash the zucchini well and dry it. 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:
If you have young zucchini, they can not be peeled off - it is thin, besides it contains a lot of vitamins. Cut them into circles about 5 mm thick. It is better to clean large zucchini and remove large seeds. In this case, cut them into slices or cubes.
Step 3:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. It can be absolutely anything: from budget sunflower to expensive olive. But if you are going to fry in oil, it must necessarily be refined - only such oil will not burn in a frying pan.
Step 4:
Put the sliced zucchini in a frying pan and fry them a little, literally for 3-5 minutes.
Step 5:
Add a crushed garlic clove to the zucchini. I put it through the press, but you can grate the garlic or chop it with a knife.
Step 6:
Salt the zucchini. At this stage, you can add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the pan: ground pepper, herbs of Provence, rosemary, thyme, chili pepper, onion or more garlic. Choose according to your taste!
Step 7:
Beat the raw eggs into a bowl.
Step 8:
Add a little salt to the eggs - keep in mind that you have already salted the zucchini.
Step 9:
Whisk the egg mass with a fork. By the way, here you can add a little curry to it to tint the mixture.
Step 10:
Pour the zucchini in a frying pan with egg mass.
Step 11:
Cook the zucchini over low heat until the desired consistency. Make sure that the eggs are fully cooked, do not remain liquid. It may be necessary to cover the pan with a lid for a couple of minutes.
Step 12:
Immediately serve the dish to the table. You can sprinkle it with fresh chopped herbs. Bon appetit!

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
