Cooking Tips

For a fluffier frittata, separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them into the yolk mixture.
Don’t overcook the frittata; it should still jiggle slightly in the center when removed from the oven.

Large mixing bowl
Whisk

Possible Substitutions

Replace cheddar with any other low-carb cheese like Gruyère or Swiss.
Substitute bacon with diced ham or cooked sausage for a different flavor profile.
