How To Make A Frittata
Now that you’ve gathered all the ingredients to make the best frittata recipe ever, you’re ready to get started actually making it! This frittata works best using an oven-proof skillet because you’ll start cooking the frittata on the stove top, and then you’ll move it to the oven to finish cooking. Here’s how to make a perfect frittata:
- Sauté spinach and asparagus in your trusty oven-proof skillet in a little olive oil. Once the spinach is wilted, remove the asparagus (but leave the spinach).
- Keep the pan over the heat and pour in the whisked eggs.
- Top the eggs and spinach with cheese, dill, chives and lay the asparagus spear on top (this isn’t for any real culinary reason—it just looks prettier this way).
- Bake! The frittata will be done in about 15 minutes, but keep an eye on it. You want a teeensy bit of wiggle in the top, but not much.
- Slice like a pie and serve with extra chives and a dollop of crème fraîche.
