- raise your hand! I’m the same, so welcome to the club Also, I want you to know that this baked frittata is not at all “eggy.”The cheese is what you taste the most. Oh, and the tomatoes. Say “nom nom nom.”
- I mean, the taste of zucchini isn’t that great either (because when are zucchini healthy?!). lol) – and I don’t see a problem with that. Sneaky vegetables win!
- I love making this frittata when I’m planning my meals for the week. One batch lasts me the whole week. So it stays really fresh, I keep half of it in the fridge and the other half in the freezer.

- Arrange them in a lined baking dish (step 2)

- Distribute the goat cheese evenly over the frittata mixture (step 6)
- Bake for 25 minutes at 200C/400F, let it cool slightly and cut into pieces.
Serve this baked frittata either warm or cold.
A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT FRITTATA ANSWERED!
- What’s the difference between a frittata and a quiche? Quick-and-not-complete answer: A quiche usually has a crust and it’s filled with a savory egg custard made with cream. A frittata is similar to a crust-less quiche or a tick unfolded omelets.
- Long story short: they are pretty different both in terms of cooking method and taste.
- Can frittata be made in advance? YES! It keeps really well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just reheat it or enjoy it cold.
- Can frittata be frozen? YES! It freezes really well. Cut them into squares, place them in airtight containers, each layer separated by parchment paper.
- Take it out of the freezer 24 hours before planning to serve it. You can also pop it directly in the microwave but it will render a lot of water (I usually place a paper towel beneath to absorb the liquid)
