- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, pepper, and optional herbs until well combined.
- Add the cooked vegetable mixture and shredded cheese to the eggs, mixing thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes
- Always squeeze excess water from zucchini to prevent soggy texture.
- Do not overbake, as it may result in a dry frittata.
