Caramelized Onion, Red Pepper and Zucchini Frittata

This frittata combines caramelized white onions, diced red bell peppers, and matchstick zucchini for a vegetable-packed egg dish. The eggs are whisked with Parmesan cheese, then set over the softened vegetables on the stovetop before finishing in the oven. The result is a tender yet set frittata with a slightly browned top and a balance of sweetness from the caramelized onion and pepper complemented by the subtle bite of Parmesan.
