A quick and easy one-pan frittata combining sweet corn, tender zucchini, and sharp cheddar cheese for a comforting and satisfying meal ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
  • 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional) such as chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grate two medium zucchinis using the coarse side of your grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the zucchini and corn kernels, cooking for 5 minutes until the mixture softens and any excess liquid evaporates. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Beat vigorously until the eggs look frothy and slightly pale, about 1 minute.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat. Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables across the pan. Pour the beaten eggs over, gently stirring once or twice to distribute ingredients evenly. Sprinkle the freshly grated sharp cheddar evenly on top.
  6. Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, just enough to set the edges.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is puffed, set in the middle, and golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Let the frittata sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Dry zucchini well to avoid sogginess. Use freshly grated sharp cheddar for best melting and flavor. If skillet handle is not oven-safe, wrap it in foil or use a pan with a removable handle. Watch the oven carefully starting at 12 minutes to prevent overcooking.
