Tips for the Perfect Frittata
Use fresh ingredients – Fresh zucchini, ripe cherry tomatoes, and high-quality cheese make a big difference in flavor.
Don’t overcook – The frittata should be just set in the center and slightly golden on top. Overcooking can make it dry.
Customize it – Add spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for extra Mediterranean flair.
Dairy-free option – Swap the milk for unsweetened almond milk and use dairy-free cheese or nutritional yeast.
Make it ahead – This frittata stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
