Ingredients:

1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
3 zucchini
350g
3 squashes
350g
3 cobs sweet corn
310g
1 cup cheddar cheese
110g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 onion
110g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Wash and slice the zucchinis and yellow squashes into thin rounds.
- Dice the onion finely.
- Remove the kernels from the ears of sweet corn.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
2. Cooking the Vegetables:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the zucchini and yellow squash slices to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
- Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are tender.
3. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper over the vegetables. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
4. Adding the Cheese:
- 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.
5. Serving:
- 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.
