FAQs for Mushroom Spinach Frittata

What is a frittata?

A frittata is an Italian dish similar to an omelet or a crustless quiche. It is made by beating eggs with cheese and other ingredients such as vegetables, meat and herbs, then cooking the mixture in a pan on the stove and finishing it in the oven. The frittata is usually cooked on low heat to avoid burning the bottom, and the pan is often flipped to cook the other side.

How to store leftover frittata?

Place frittata slices in an airtight container or wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days and then reheat in microwave or oven.

Can you freeze frittatas?

Frittatas can be frozen for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place in an airtight container. When ready to eat, defrost overnight in refrigerator, then reheat in oven or microwave.

How do you keep a fluffy frittata?

Making sure to use some dairy and beating your eggs well are two keys to keeping your frittata fluffy. Otherwise you’ll find your egg-based frittata can be a bit flat and dense.
