# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms random vegetables into something that feels like a fancy brunch restaurant dish without actually being fancy
  • The leftovers are even better cold, making tomorrow's lunch already done
02 -
  • The skillet handle stays dangerously hot after baking, so wrap it in a towel or you will absolutely burn yourself grabbing it later
  • Underbaking is better than overbaking, those residual eggs keep cooking while it rests and nobody likes rubbery eggs
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, the heat distribution makes for the most evenly cooked frittata
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better
