Q&A Section:
Q: Can I use other vegetables in the frittata?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to swap in vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or even sweet potatoes. Just make sure to slice or dice them small enough for even cooking.
Q: Can I make this frittata without cheese?
A: Yes, you can easily leave out the cheese for a dairy-free version. You could also substitute with a dairy-free cheese if you prefer.
Q: Can I prepare this in advance?
A: Yes! You can make the frittata ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Q: Can I freeze the frittata?
A: Yes, you can freeze the frittata! Slice it into portions and wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, bake at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
Q: How do I know when the frittata is done?
A: The frittata is done when the center is set and no longer wobbly. You can also insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Q: Can I make this without an oven?
A: Yes, if you don’t have an oven, you can cook the frittata on the stovetop in a large, oven-safe skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, checking occasionally, until the eggs are set.
