Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, this frittata combines the subtle flavors of zucchini and onion with the richness of cheddar cheese.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the onion finely.
- Thinly slice the zucchini.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl until well combined.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded.
- If you plan to finish the frittata in the oven, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a non-stick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of oil or butter to the skillet (if desired) to prevent sticking.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften.
- In the bowl with the beaten eggs, add a dash of salt and black pepper. Mix well.
- Pour the seasoned beaten eggs over the sautéed onions and zucchini.
- Tilt the skillet slightly to ensure the eggs coat the vegetables evenly.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
- If you plan to use the oven, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
- Alternatively, you can continue cooking on the stovetop by reducing the heat to low and covering the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
- Once the frittata is cooked, remove it from the oven or stovetop.
- Let it cool for a minute before slicing.
- Serve the frittata warm, and enjoy!
Tips:
- For an extra fluffy frittata, beat the eggs thoroughly until they are light and airy.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers or spinach, to enhance the flavor and nutritional value.
- Cook the onions until they are translucent to bring out their natural sweetness and ensure they blend well with the other ingredients.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking and to make flipping or serving easier.
- For a more intense cheese flavor, try using a sharp cheddar or adding more cheese as desired.
Voila! Your Zucchini Frittata with onion and cheddar cheese is ready to be savored. This dish offers a wonderful combination of fresh veggies and cheesy goodness. It's sure to become a favorite in your meal rotation. Serve it hot and enjoy the wholesome taste.
