Tips for Carrot and Pepper Frittata

  • A thin, even frittata cooks more reliably than a thick one; use a skillet about 8 inches across.
  • The center should look set rather than wet, and the underside should be lightly golden.
  • A flexible spatula and a plate slightly wider than the skillet make flipping easier and help prevent tearing.

Drink pairing

a crisp, dry rosé
Its bright, refreshing character complements the sweet vegetables and tender eggs without overpowering them.

0% option: sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the frittata is cooked through?

The center should be set with no liquid egg visible, and the underside should be lightly golden.

What is the easiest way to flip it without breaking it?

Use a plate wider than the skillet: invert the frittata onto it, then slide it back into the pan to finish cooking.

Can I make this ahead?

It is quickest and best freshly cooked, but you can grate the carrot and dice the pepper ahead and refrigerate them in a covered container.
