Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve the perfect fluffy texture, avoid overcooking the vegetables in the skillet before adding the eggs. Make sure the edges begin to set on the stovetop to help the frittata hold together when it goes into the oven. Using an oven-safe skillet is key for transferring directly to the oven effortlessly.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Feel free to swap in other spring vegetables such as peas or artichokes to customize the frittata to your liking. For a dairy-free version, simply omit the goat cheese and Parmesan, and use a plant-based milk alternative to keep the dish creamy yet vegan-friendly.
