Frittatas are easy to whip up. Baked until golden, a frittata is a satisfying and flavorful option for any meal!
The recipe typically begins with whisking eggs in a bowl until well beaten. Cheese is added, such as shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, or crumbled feta …
You can experiment with vegetables, meats, or seafood to add to the frittata. Sautéed mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, spinach, or diced tomatoes are popular options that bring vibrant colors, textures, and flavors to the dish. Add cooked bacon, diced ham, or smoked salmon for protein and richness.
Once the ingredients are ready, preheat the oven and heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add oil and any desired seasonings or herbs to the skillet. Then, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it evenly coats the ingredients. Allow the frittata to cook for a few minutes on the stovetop until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven — bake the frittata until it is fully set and golden brown. The cooking time will vary depending on the skillet’s size and the frittata’s thickness, but it typically ranges from 15 to 25 minutes. Once the frittata is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Accompany with a side salad or slice of crusty bread!
