Discover a delightful and nutritious dish with this Zucchini Frittata recipe. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, this frittata combines the subtle flavors of zucchini and onion with the richness of cheddar cheese. Not only is it delicious, but it's also quick and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
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.
