When we had a garden, every summer we were overrun with zucchini, tomatoes, and squash.  There are only so many friends you can keep giving them to before they refuse the answer the door when you knock. This fritatta is a great way to make use of of some the bounty from your garden.  This fritatta is perfect for brunch. Best of all, you can prepare it ahead of time and just bake it at the last minute.

1 small Vidalia onion, diced

Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
