Frittata

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to a medium-high temperature. Clean and slice the onion and zucchini.

2. In a small frying pan, add the oil and heat over a medium- high flame.

3. Add the onion and zucchini, and sauté until tender. When soft, remove them from the heat and let cool.

4. Grate the cheese. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, add the salt and pepper and beat again.

5. Add the cooked vegetables, cheese and mix well.

6. In an oven-safe frying pan, heat butter over a medium flame until it bubbles. Add the egg mixture and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the eggs are almost firm on top, about 15 minutes.

7. Transfer the frying pan to the oven and bake until the surface is golden brown.
