This is a basic recipe for an easy frittata. Consider it a blank canvas for your favorite breakfast flavors. I’ll get you started with a few versions.
Oven temperatures vary significantly, so the times are suggestions. The key is to watch the center of the frittata, when it is no longer runny in the middle, you can move it to the upper rack and let it brown.
