Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Grate the zucchini, dice the onions, mince the garlic, cook and crumble the bacon, and shred the cheddar cheese.
3. Saute Vegetables:
   • In an oven-safe skillet, melt butter or heat cooking oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent. Add grated zucchini and continue cooking until the excess moisture evaporates.
4. Add Bacon:

   • Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetable and bacon mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
7. Cook on the Stovetop:
   • Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 3-5 minutes or until the edges start to set.
8. Bake in the Oven:
   • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the frittata is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
9. Broil for a Crispy Top (Optional):
   • If you prefer a crispy top, you can briefly broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
10. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
