1 (15 ounce) container fat free egg substitute
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large zucchini, quartered length-wise, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 onion, thinly sliced

Transfer the skillet to the to the broiler and broil 5 inches from the heat until the center of the frittata is set and the top is lightly browned, 1 - 2 minutes. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese and the mint. Cut into 4 wedges.
