Combining the subtle flavors of zucchini with the rich and comforting taste of Swiss cheese, this frittata is both simple to prepare and satisfying to eat.<\/p>\n<p>It comes together quickly in just 20 minutes. The best part? This recipe is versatile enough to be enjoyed hot or cold, making it a great option for leftovers.<\/p>\n<h2>Zucchini Frittata Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Three whole eggs are the base of this frittata, providing structure and fluffiness to the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> It adds a slight crunch and sweet, aromatic depth to the zucchini frittata.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zucchini:<\/strong> Shredded zucchini enhances the frittata&#8217;s moisture without overpowering the flavor. Just be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture with a paper towel before sauteing in the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> Sprinkling cheese over the egg mixture before it bakes results in a creamy frittata with a golden brown top.

Not only is this zucchini frittata easy to whip up in just 20 minutes, it&#8217;s also a great dish for weekday meal prep or serving at potlucks because it reheats well. Prepare and cook your frittata following the recipe. Let it cool completely before covering it tightly and refrigerating for up to four days. When you&#8217;re ready to serve, gently reheat the frittata in the oven at 350\u00b0 until it&#8217;s warmed through.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze a frittata?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze zucchini frittatas. Once the frittata has cooled completely, slice it into individual portions. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe zip-top bag or container. Your zucchini frittata can be stored this way for up to two months. To serve again, thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat in an oven or microwave.<\/p>\n<h2>Zucchini Frittata Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2056081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zucchini-Frittata-TOHD24_3991_MaryLagier_11.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Frittata Served In Skillet\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Mary Lagier for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can I avoid the frittata puffing up when baking?<\/h3>\n<p>The key to an even bake comes down to how much you mix the egg mixture\u2014too much over-mixing will incorporate more air into the batter, resulting in the frittata expanding as it bakes.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I keep my frittata from sticking to the pan?<\/h3>\n<p>To prevent your zucchini frittata from sticking, use a well-oiled cast-iron pan or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-non-stick-frying-pan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-non-stick-frying-pan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">non-stick skillet that&#8217;s oven-safe<\/a>. Preheating the pan before adding the eggs can also help create a natural non-stick surface.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to serve a frittata?<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best things about this zucchini frittata recipe is its versatility. You can serve it hot straight out of the oven, or wait until it cools to room temperature.
