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

- Sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper over the vegetables. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
- 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.
- If you prefer a richer dish, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
