Kitchen notes

Notes

Use an oven-safe nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. If using a smaller skillet, the frittata will be thicker and may need a few extra minutes in the oven.

Tips

Cook the vegetables until most of their moisture has evaporated before adding the eggs. This helps prevent a watery frittata.

Substitutions

Spinach can be replaced with kale or Swiss chard. Bell pepper can be replaced with zucchini. Parsley can be replaced with fresh basil or dill.

Serving suggestions

Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad, whole-grain toast, or roasted vegetables.
