Name: Zucchini Frittata with Dill
Yield: 8
Cuisine: Breakfast
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 medium onion diced; 3 cups 1 large zucchini, grated on a box grater; 1/2 cup cheese grated; 10 large eggs; 1/3 cup heavy cream; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper; 1 Tbsp fresh dill chopped

My niece is getting married at the cabin in Ely this weekend, and many relatives are scattered about the lake. We made a brunch zucchini frittata for everyone to get their sustenance before the big event.

A frittata is nothing more than a crustless quiche. It’s made by whisking eggs and mixing them with various ingredients like vegetables, cheese, herbs, and sometimes meats. The mixture is then cooked in a skillet on the stovetop and often finished under the broiler to set the top. Frittatas can be customized with a wide range of ingredients, making them an excellent option for using up leftover vegetables or other ingredients you have on hand. We use them as a quick weeknight dish to use up the dribs and drabs of leftovers.
