For some reason it intimidated me, but it shouldn’t have.
Basically, it’s the tastiest way to clean out your fridge at the end of the week.

In fact, frittatas aresofoolproof, you don’t even need a recipe to make one.
Stovetop recipes will have you flip the frittata so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
To make any frittata, always use 6 to 8 eggs and 2 cups of filling.

But if you’re using meat and veggies, you’ll want to do one of each.
As for fillings, there aren’t many ingredients youcan’tuse.
At the end of the day, it’s all about your preference.

Just be sure too avoid adding anything with too much liquid.
“The only things I’d avoid are ingredients that add a lot of liquid,” says Weld.
And cook all your fillingsbeforeyou combine them with the eggs.

And be sure to use a nonstick skillet.
If your skillet isn’t nonstick, the whole thing might fall apart when you attempt to remove it.
I used these simple rules to make three different frittatas without a recipe.

Start by cooking and prepping any ingredients you gotta.
Then, I microwaved the frozen spinach, drained the excess liquid, and chopped my herbs.
After you’ve cooked your ingredients, scramble the eggs thoroughly.

Then, whisk in your creamy ingredients.
Wait till the very end to add your heavier items.
In my dairy-free recipe I whisked hummus directly into the eggs to give them a creamier texture.
After the edges set, transfer the frittata to the oven to finish cooking.
Or, flip it!
To do it, place a plate on top of the frittata while it’s still in the pan.
With one hand on the plate and another on the handle of the skillet, quickly flip that frittata!
Then, slide the raw side of the frittata back into the skillet to finish cooking.
If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, watch the video below.
And that’s all it’s crucial that you know to make a frittata on your own!
Before you know it, your life is going to have a lotta frittatas.
