# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • One skillet means you get to skip the cleanup part and actually enjoy your breakfast.
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes, which somehow feels like cheating when you serve it to guests.
  • You can eat it warm, at room temperature, or straight from the fridge—it's endlessly forgiving.
02 -
  • Don't skip the stovetop cooking before transferring to the oven—those 2 to 3 minutes set the edges and help everything cook evenly.
  • Your oven temperature matters more than you think, so use an oven thermometer if yours tends to run hot or cold because an overheated frittata becomes rubbery.
  • The center should look just barely set when you pull it out, not completely firm, because carryover cooking continues after it leaves the oven.
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs whisk into a fluffier custard than cold ones, so pull them out of the fridge when you start prepping vegetables.
  • Don't let your stovetop vegetables get too soft before adding the eggs—they'll keep cooking in the oven and can turn mushy if you're not careful.
