• Heat a broiler with a rack set about 6 inches below the heat. Meanwhile, place a 10-inch broiler-safe skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the zucchini and shake or stir the pan until it is lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. As it cooks, add the herbs, rubbing between your fingers as you sprinkle them.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and egg white with a fork until foamy. Add 2 tablespoons of the cheese and beat until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, using salt sparingly because the Parmesan is salty.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini and continue to cook over medium-low heat until solidified, about 3 minutes. Gently shake the pan, making sure the eggs coat the zucchini. If desired, use a spatula to lift the edge and let the uncooked eggs run underneath.
• Sprinkle the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon cheese, or more if desired. Put the pan under a broiler and broil until the whole frittata is lightly puffed and lightly browned on the surface, about 2 minutes. Cut into quarters and serve.
