Tips to Make Foolproof Frittata
- Mix and Match: Feel free to use any vegetables or cheese you like. Leftover veggies from previous meals work perfectly!
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the mixture gently to keep the frittata fluffy.
- Check the Oven: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your frittata while it bakes to avoid overcooking.
Variation
For a more Mediterranean touch, try adding sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese. You can also exchange the vegetables and cheese based on the season or your preferences.
