Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Run a spatula around the edges before baking to help the frittata puff evenly.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Preheat your pan or griddle properly. An evenly heated surface is the difference between golden perfection and uneven cooking.
Room temperature eggs cook more evenly than cold ones. Pull them from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking.
Storage
Refrigerate slices for up to 4 days; freezes well for up to 2 months.
Reheating
Microwave individual slices for 60-90 seconds or reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
