Step 4: Combine & Bake
. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, ensuring the vegetables are evenly covered.
. Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, allowing the edges to begin setting. This helps the frittata hold together during baking.
. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. You can check if it’s done by gently shaking the skillet; the center should be firm, not jiggly.
Step 5: Serve
. Once the frittata is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color.
. Slice and serve warm, either as a complete meal or alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread.
Helpful Tips for Making the Perfect Zucchini and Tomato Frittata
. Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free frittata, you can use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk and replace the cheese with a dairy-free alternative or skip the cheese altogether.
. Spicy Kick: If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture before pouring it over the vegetables.
. Extra Protein: To make the frittata heartier, you can add cooked bacon, ham, or crumbled sausage. These options will add both flavor and protein to the dish.
. Vegetable Variations: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables. Adding spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers will give the frittata more color and flavor while boosting its nutritional content.
. Cutting and Serving: The frittata can be served as a single large slice, or you can cut it into smaller wedges for easy sharing at a brunch or gathering.
