Zucchini Frittata

Enjoy this "crustless quiche" anytime of the year, especially during those hot summer months when you want something light that doesn't heat up your kitchen to prepare...

4 c. diced zucchini
1 small onion, chopped
4 large eggs
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. fully cooked ham, cubed
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper (I use red pepper)

In a 9-inch microwave-safe pie pan, combine the zucchini and onion. Cover and microwave on high for 5-15 minutes or until tender; drain.

In a bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, ham, salt and pepper. Carefully pour over the zucchini mixture.

Microwave at 70% power (I use the "defrost" setting) for 12 minutes or so or until eggs are set.

This frittata is delicious with a green salad and a crusty French bread.
