Recipes Tips
- Serving tips: I like serving this with some turkey bacon or crispy prosciutto and don't forget the hot sauce!
- Troubleshooting: Sometimes the eggs like to stick to the pan, I recommend letting them cool completely before trying to remove from the pan.
- Scaling: This recipe can easily be doubled but I do recommend cooking it in two pans if you are going to double it.
Storage Tips
These eggs stay perfectly fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator in and air tight container. To reheat, I just microwave or air fry the pieces. I don't recommend freezing this recipe as the veggies used have a lot of moisture so it won't defrost well.
FAQs About Spring Frittata
How do I get the eggs to not stick? I recommend using a ceramic casserole dish and spray non-stick spray.
Does it matter if I don't use organic, pasture raised eggs? Not at all! Those are the ones I prefer, but you can use any that you like.
Can I use frozen peas? Absolutely! Fresh or frozen work great.
What if I can't eat nuts? You can leave out the dairy-free ricotta cheese or use regular ricotta cheese.
