This Vegetable Frittata is a versatile and comforting Mediterranean-style dish that transforms simple pantry staples into a satisfying main course. By sauting onions, zucchini, and garlic until tender, you build a deep flavor base before folding in beaten eggs. The mixture is cooked on the stovetop to set the bottom, then finished under a hot broiler or in the oven to achieve a puffed, golden top. It has a creamy, custard-like texture with vibrant vegetable notes. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a light lunch, or even as a make-ahead breakfast option, this frittata is easy to customize with whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand. Serve it warm or at room temperature for maximum convenience.

Remove skillet from heat and let the vegetable mixture cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
