Helpful Tips For Making This Frittata Recipe
- You can use a 1o" skillet or 12" skillet, to bake the frittata in but the baking time changes slightly. For a 10" skillet bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, for a 12" skillet bake for about 12 - 15 minutes. It is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- This low carb frittata is easily adaptable to your tastes, and whatever ingredients you have on hand. Feel free to substitute ingredients you don't like. Try playing around with different herb combinations, different meats (bacon would be yummy), cheeses, etc. The options are endless!
