If you love eggs, you can rely on this one dish when you want a quick and delicious meal.

Making a frittata is easy and simple, You need to follow a few steps to make it perfectly delicious. The texture of frittata is the main indication of well-made frittata.

A perfect frittata has a creamy and custard-like centre rather than spongy and dry. To make the perfect frittata, I am sharing a few of the tips that I follow to make the best Italian frittata every time.

Ingredients

1. Eggs: Fresh organic eggs are preferable
2. Cream: Fresh milk cream
3. Seasoning: Mixed Italian herbs, salt and black pepper
4. Veggies: Mushroom, capsicum, peas,
5. Cheese: Cheddar cheese

How to Make it

1. Heat oil in a non-stick pan.
2. Now one by one add all the vegetables to the pan.
3. Saute them for 4-5 minutes and then allow the vegetables to cool down.
4. Take a mixing bowl and break all eggs one by one, whisk the eggs gently to combine them well without over whisking.
5. Now add Italian mixed herbs, sea salt, and cheese cubes cut into smaller cubes and combine well.
6. Lastly add cream which is a must-add ingredient and lends that perfect texture to the frittata.
7. Take a baking dish or cast iron pan, and line it with parchment paper.
8. First, add sautéed veggies to this baking dish and then add egg batter to it.
9. Preheat the oven to 180C and place this baking dish in the oven, bake it for 20 minutes and then check to see a light brown crust and press it lightly to see if the centre is soft and slightly wobbly.
10. Take it out of the oven and serve warm or allow it to cool before slicing it as per your preference.

Recipe Notes: Tips for Making Perfect Frittata

1. Dairy is Must

I can’t stress enough on this! dairy adds a delicious creamy touch. In your attempt to keep the calorie count low do not avoid cream in the frittata batter.

You can substitute cream with mil, Milk tastes nice, but cream tastes nicer and yields a perfect creamy frittata each time.

The right proportion of egg to dairy is for 8 eggs I always use 80-100 ml of cream. And this size with 8 eggs is sufficient to serve 4 people.

2. Cook your vegetables right

1. Fully cook your vegetables before you add them to a frittata.
2. Saute' them well if there are any watery remains as in the case of vegetables with high water content, just make sure to drain them well so that water does not seep into the eggs.
3. After adding to the eggs vegetables are not going to be cooked much. So cooking them till 100% done is a good way.

3. Whisk it right

Never whisk frittata batter too much, you don’t want spongy and airy frittata which puffs in the oven and then flattens when it cools down. Just whisk the ingredients together only enough to mix them together.

4. Bake at the Right temperature and time

A good frittata should be creamy and custardy in texture, over baking may give you a brownish top that looks good but the interior does not remain as creamy. Bake it till the top is light brown and the interior is still wobbly. Because it will still be cooking when you take it out of the oven. The right temperature for baking frittata is 180C or 350F for 20-25 minutes.

The beauty of Frittata is you can bake it with anything and anytime and enjoy it hot or cold, you can make it ahead or make it at mealtime it tastes absolutely fabulous if you take care of the above tips.

Serving Suggestions

I topped it with arugula and baby tomato salad because I was serving it for the brunch, you can top it with salad or serve any of the salads on the side.
