Notes

  • Fridge: store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Freezer: Allow the frittata to cool to room temperature before slicing into portions. Freeze the peices on a tray until firm, then pack in a freezer bag or container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the frozen frittata in the fridge over night.
  • Reheat: Use the microwave or a low oven to reheat.
  • Do all the prep before beginning the recipe: grate the cheeses, slice the vegetables and whisk eggs.

  • Don't over whisk: A good frittata should puff up in the oven and will deflate when taken out of the oven. This is fine, but you don't want it to be completely flat. Whisk the eggs until the whites and yolks are just combined.

  • Use the right pan: A cast iron skillet, a heavy oven proof pan or baking dish will work. This recipe uses a 10 inch pan. If you use a larger or smaller pan, your frittata will be thinner of thicker.

  • Don't overbake: For best results, check the frittata five minutes before the cooking time is over. If you give the pan a little shake, there should still be a slight jiggle in the center.
