A well-made frittata is one of the world’s most perfect foods.
It’s cheap, quick-cooking, and an efficient way to exploit leftovers. Not to mention equally delicious at lunch, and dinner.
But a poorly-made frittata is just a tragedy. We’ve all had a bad frittata; they’re spongy rather than custardy, dry, and flavorless. 

Don’t suffer the same fate with your next skillet of baked egg goodness: follow the instructions below and delight yourself!
