Notes
- Leftover frittata stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be frozen in portions for 3 months.
- Milk can be substituted with sour cream or yogurt for a slightly different texture.
- Spinach can be swapped with kale to vary the greens.
- Ham is optional and can be replaced with extra vegetables for a vegetarian version.
- Different cheeses such as Gruyere or goat cheese work well as substitutes for cheddar.
