# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The vegetables stay vibrant and tender, never mushy or gray
  • Goat cheese adds just enough tang to balance the sweet spring produce
  • It is elegant enough for brunch guests but simple enough for Tuesday dinner
02 -
  • An oven-safe skillet is essential, or transfer everything to a baking dish before the oven step
  • Overcooking makes eggs rubbery, so pull the frittata when the center still jiggles slightly like gelatin
  • Letting it rest before slicing is the difference between a neat presentation and a messy serving spoon
03 -
  • Use a 10-inch skillet for the ideal thickness, or adjust cooking time for larger or smaller pans
  • Start checking for doneness at 10 minutes to avoid drying out the eggs
