  • Time-Efficient: Ready in just 40 minutes from start to finish.
  • Diet-Friendly: A naturally vegetarian and gluten-free meal.
  • Simple Ingredients: Uses common staples like eggs, milk, and cheddar cheese.
02 -
  • Avoid Overcooking: Remove the skillet from the oven when the center has a slight jiggle to maintain a creamy texture.

  • Whisk Well: Thoroughly whisking the eggs with the milk incorporates air, resulting in a lighter and fluffier frittata.
