Tips
Keep the skillet moving by lifting edges frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking to the bottom.
Make sure your skillet is broiler-proof before starting - cast iron or oven-safe stainless steel work best.
Let the frittata rest for 2-3 minutes after broiling to make cutting easier and prevent cheese from sliding off.
