Tips For The Best Easy Frittata Recipe

  • Always preheat the oven before baking.
  • A cast-iron skillet is perfect for baking a frittata.
  • Cook the frittata in the oven just until the center is no longer jiggly and the edges are golden brown.
  • To prepare in advance, this baked method is best. You can whisk the eggs, and cheese together in advance. Cover and refrigerate the mixture until you’re ready to bake (it should keep well for up to two days).

Frittata Vs Omelet

Frittata, which translates to “fried” in Italian, is an egg-based classic brunch dish. Unlike omelets, frittata fillings are mixed in with the eggs in the pan rather than folded in the center.

While omelets are typically made to serve just one, the great thing about this baked frittata is it can serve many, and can also be eaten hot or at room temperature. Large frittatas are cut in slices and served.

  1. Would you be able to suggest an alternative for the flour? I would like to make it for a group, but one has celiac.
    Thank you!

  2. can you reduce the serving? like, use a little less egg? or put them in the fridge? because I think I can’t finish a frittata that size by myself :/

  3. this was wonderful. My mother-in-law even really enjoyed it. It has a nice fluffiness to it, lightness, and just enough flavor/seasoning. The base of the recipe could probably be interchanged with other flavors such as bacon, mushrooms, spinach, etc.
