- Add the corn and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens further but is still bright green. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, then top with the bacon.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the top is puffed and the eggs are cooked through.
- Garnish with parsley, then serve directly from the skillet.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but you can also use frozen or canned corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it well.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming watery.
- Use a nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the cakes from sticking and burning.
- Cook the cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the cakes immediately. They are best when hot and fresh.
