Notes

Other Cooking Methods:
  • Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the vegetables in an ovenproof skillet for 7 minutes, then pour in the egg mixture. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Stovetop Method: Use a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set and slightly golden on the bottom.
  • Broiler Finish: After cooking the frittata on the stovetop or air fryer, place it under a preheated broiler for 1–2 minutes to brown the top and melt the cheese.
