Instructions:
- Wash and slice the zucchinis and yellow squashes into thin rounds.

- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.

- Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- For a more colorful dish, consider using a mix of yellow and green squash.
- Add a pinch of paprika or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and extra flavor.
- Try using a sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced cheese flavor.
- Make sure to sauté the onion until it's translucent to bring out its natural sweetness.
