Recipe FAQs

What are the best greens to use in this frittata?

Fresh spring greens like baby spinach, asparagus, and spring onions work well. You can also try kale, arugula, or peas for variation.

Can I substitute goat cheese with other cheeses?

Yes, creamy cheeses like feta or ricotta offer a similar texture and flavor. Parmesan adds a nice sharpness when combined with softer cheeses.

How do I prevent the frittata from sticking to the skillet?

Use an ovenproof non-stick skillet and melt butter thoroughly before adding vegetables. This creates a rich layer that helps prevent sticking.

What is the ideal cooking temperature and time?

Begin cooking the vegetables on the stove, then bake the frittata in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 10–12 minutes until puffed and set.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Yes, the frittata can be cooked, cooled, and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently before serving to maintain texture.

What wine pairs well with this dish?

A light Sauvignon Blanc complements the fresh greens and tangy goat cheese, enhancing the overall flavors without overpowering them.
