  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Grease or line two 12-count muffin pans with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl beat the eggs and add the oil and milk and whisk to combine.
  4. In a large bowl whisk the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder together. Gently fold the egg mixture into the flour, careful not to over mix.
  5. Fold in the zucchini, basil and ½ cup parmesan cheese. Divide batter into muffin tins, about 1/3 cup in each muffin. Sprinkle a pinch of cheese over the tops using the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Sprinkle or grind a pinch of black pepper on top of each muffin.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until a toothpick, when inserted, comes away clean.
