INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥒 2 ½ cups cubed zucchini
    • 2 ½ cups cubed yellow summer squash
    • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
    • 🧅 ⅓ cup diced red onion
    • 1 cup diced sweet peppers
  • Dairy

    • 2 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
    • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • Protein

    • 1 slice thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
    • 🥚 8 large eggs
  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 2 tablespoons kosher salt
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • Others

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

STEPS

1

Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of kosher salt over top; toss until evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.

2

Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.

3

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.

4

While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.

5

Raise heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until peppers just start to soften and onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.

6

Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

7

Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula until it starts to thicken, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle contents and turn off the heat. Push edges down with a spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.

8

Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.

9

Sprinkle with more green onions, let cool for 5 minutes, and transfer onto a serving plate.
