Prepare the Vegetables

- Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Frittata:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives at the end.
- If you prefer a creamier frittata, add a splash of cream or crème fraîche to the egg mixture.
- Don't overcook the vegetables; slightly softened vegetables retain their texture and flavor better in the frittata.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray before pouring in the egg mixture.
