Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 6 eggs in a bowl with 1 tsp fresh dill, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add 1/2 cup diced zucchini and 1/2 cup diced bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables, reduce heat to low, and cook for 8-10 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath, until set and golden at the edges. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover with a lid, and cook for 2 more minutes until cheese melts.
