Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add zucchini and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and edges just start to brown, 4–5 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour over the vegetables and sprinkle cheese evenly across the top.
Step 4
Cook on the stovetop undisturbed until edges set but center still jiggles slightly, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer skillet to the broiler and cook 2–3 minutes until the top is just set and lightly golden. Watch it closely.
Step 6
Toss lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and olives with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Serve salad alongside a warm wedge of frittata.
