Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • ⅓ cup finely chopped shallots (from 12 shallots)

  • ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 8 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

  • 1¼ cups (5 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Prep the Zucchini:

  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.

  • Place the grated zucchini on several layers of paper towels and wring out excess moisture. Repeat 1-2 times if needed.

3. Sauté the Veggies:

  • In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

  • Add shallots, zucchini, and ½ tsp salt.

  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and moisture evaporates (about 7-8 minutes).

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.

5. Combine & Bake:

  • Stir the cooked zucchini and shredded cheddar into the egg mixture.

  • Pour the mixture back into the same skillet.

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

 

  • Let cool slightly before slicing. Be cautious of the hot skillet handle when removing from the oven.

  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Meal Prep: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

  • Cheese Swap: Try swapping cheddar for gruyère, feta, or Parmesan for a different flavor.

  • Add-Ins: For extra protein, add cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed mushrooms.

 

  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
