Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For an evenly cooked frittata, make sure your skillet is oven-safe and nonstick to prevent sticking and facilitate easy slicing. Allowing the frittata to cool for a few minutes after baking lets it set properly for clean wedges. If you prefer a firmer texture, extend the baking time by a few minutes but watch carefully to avoid drying out.
