Additional recipe notes
Frittata will keep in your fridge for 3-4 days. To store leftovers, allow it to cool to room temperature. Wrap tightly in plastic or store in an airtight container in the fridge. To tell if your frittata is set, use the “jiggle test.” if the center of the frittata jiggles when you shake the skillet, it needs to cook longer.
