For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of garlic powder to the egg yolk mixture. Ensure your egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for a light and airy frittata. Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing and serving for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the zucchini, cooked rice, Havarti, and Parmesan cheese. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, Sriracha, salt, and pepper. Pour the liquid mixture over the rice mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepIn a clean glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff, but not dry, peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk-rice mixture, ensuring not to deflate the whites. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs evenly across the top of the frittata. Continue baking until the top is golden brown and the frittata is set, approximately 10 more minutes. (Cook time: 35 minutes)
