Whisk several eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Turn on the oven broiler and heat some butter in a high-sided sauté pan on the stove. Grate cheese. Add the eggs to the sauté pan and let cook, undisturbed, over medium heat until the eggs begin to set. Sprinkle the eggs liberally with the cheese and put the pan in the oven under the broiler. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and the frittata is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. If you have any vegetables—like mushrooms or squash—sauté them in the same pan before starting on the frittata and add them back to the dish at the same time as the cheese. If you have any bacon, pancetta or prosciutto, cook that in the sauté pan before sautéing the vegetables and add them back to the dish at the same time as the veggies and cheese. Cooking several different components of a dish by turns in the same pan and then adding them back to the dish is a trick for layering and building up flavor without building up dishes to wash.
