# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It turns whatever vegetables you have on hand into something elegant enough for company but casual enough for Tuesday dinner
- The leftovers are even better cold, making it the ultimate prep-ahead meal for busy weeks
02 -
- Use a truly ovenproof skillet, not one with a plastic handle that will melt in the oven
- Letting the frittata rest before cutting is the difference between a clean slice and a messy slide
03 -
- Dry your vegetables thoroughly after washing to prevent a watery frittata
- Do not overbake, the eggs will continue setting slightly as they cool
