Tips

Use a cast-iron skillet. The shape, material, and size of the frittata pan you would utilize will affect the overall cooking time and the look of your final recipe. For a classic appearance, consider using a cast-iron skillet, while ensuring that it's well-seasoned to avoid the eggs from sticking to it. Also, remember that the cast iron has a great amount of heat, so you should always remove the frittata a little early to let the cooking process come to an end.
Balance egg and dairy product amounts. Most of the frittata recipes need some dairy mixing to add up some sort of creaminess. The most famous rule of thumb is that one should always utilize half a cup of milk with eight eggs. However, you can always select your dairy products. Never be afraid of experimenting with newer and better ideas like creme fraiche or sour cream.
Prepare add-ins at the beginning. Firstly, prepare the fillings that you want to add to the eggs. In case you’re using some beef, roasted potatoes, or sausages, that’s not an issue. Also, fresh ingredients, like mushrooms, tomatoes, or onions, should be chopped into small pieces, and drained before you mix them with the beaten eggs. This should be done because the product has a lot of moisture in it and it could water down the recipe. You can be as creative with the Add-Ins as you want. You can combine onion, kale, or chopped olives too in the frittata to give it a great taste and look.
Don't overbake. After the eggs are all set, keep your frittata in an oven and bake it at 350 °F. This would take up to 16 to 18 minutes. Either way, remember to keep a watch on the frittata pan and look for a custard-like and soft texture. In case you need a golden-brown top, adding cheese on the top would be great as it would end the baking procedure. Doing this would be better than taking a risk of overcooking the recipe.
