Frittata Recipe Template
A frittata is one of the most versatile recipe templates to keep on hand. You can sub in the veggies, cheese and meat (if you choose) based on what is in your fridge. When you’re making your swaps, just keep in mind this ratio: for every six eggs, use 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk, 1 cup cheese, and 2 cups total of vegetables and/or meat filling. Here’s one possible version of a frittata:

  6. Sprinkle the cheese on top, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until you see the eggs at the edges of the pan beginning to set.
  7. Bake the frittata until the eggs are set, 8 to 10 minutes. For a browned, crispy top, broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and enjoy!
