FAQ
Q1. Can I use fresh peas instead of frozen? Yes, you can use fresh peas if you prefer. Just blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes until tender, then drain and add them to the frittata.
Q2. Can I substitute the feta cheese? Absolutely! If you’re not a fan of feta, you can substitute with other cheeses like goat cheese, or shredded cheddar. Each will bring a different flavor profile to the frittata.
Q3. How can I make this frittata recipe dairy-free? To make the frittata dairy-free, you can omit the feta cheese and use a non-dairy cheese alternative or just add extra vegetables for flavor. You might also want to add a bit of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
Q4. Can I make this frittata ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the frittata ahead of time. Bake it, let it cool, and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven or microwave.
Q5. Can I freeze leftover frittata? Yes, frittata can be frozen. Allow it to cool completely, then slice into portions and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Q6.What can I add to the frittata for extra flavor? Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices like dill, chives, or thyme. You can also add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrients.
Q7. Can I cook this frittata on the stovetop instead of in the oven? Yes, you can cook the frittata entirely on the stovetop. Use a non-stick skillet and cover it with a lid to allow the eggs to set. Cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn’t burn.
Q8. How do I know when the frittata is done? The frittata is done when it is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A knife or toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Q9. What kind of skillet is best for making a frittata? An oven-safe skillet, like a cast iron skillet or a non-stick skillet, is ideal for making frittata. It allows for even cooking and easy transfer from stovetop to oven.
