Instructions
- Slice zucchini thinly and chop 1 small onion. Clean and slice 1 cup of mushrooms. Rinse 1 cup spinach and pat dry. Mince 2 garlic cloves thoroughly.

Notes
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make cooking smoother and faster, ensuring everything is chopped, sliced, and ready to go before starting.
- Sauté mushrooms carefully to prevent releasing too much moisture, which could make your frittata soggy and less appetizing.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly until they’re frothy to create a light, airy texture that sets beautifully in the oven or under the broiler.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative, and experiment with nutritional yeast for added flavor.
