Notes

You can serve your frittata warm or at room temperature. Slice it into wedges and enjoy it on its own or with a side salad. It also pairs well with avocado or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
