Notes
- Prepare all ingredients in advance, including grating cheeses, slicing vegetables, and whisking eggs, to streamline the cooking process.
- Whisk eggs only until yolks and whites combine for optimal frittata texture and puffiness.
- Use a 10-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet for proper thickness; adjust pan size carefully if using another pan.
- Check for doneness five minutes before baking time ends; a slight jiggle in the center indicates ideal cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3-4 days or freeze sliced portions for up to 3 months, thawing overnight before reheating.
