Ingredients

1 large shallot, thinly sliced
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoon shredded monterey jack
olive oil, as needed
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced

Directions

In a small nonstick skillet, sauté the shallot in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. When they begin to become tender, add the zucchini. Sauté the vegetables until they are cooked through and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. With your spatula, spread the zucchini and shallots evenly across the base of the pan. Season the egg with salt and pepper and pour it over the vegetables.
Cook until the bottom of the frittata has set and the top is nearly cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Using a spatula, loosen the bottom of the pancake. Peel back one side, and tilt the pan so that the remaining uncooked egg slides to the open surface area. Using a second spatula, gently flip the frittata. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, and cover the pan with a plate to lock in the heat. Cook for another minute or so until the cheese is melted and the underside of the frittata has set. Slide the frittata onto a round plate and serve immediately.
