# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The coconut milk creates this incredible silky texture that honestly makes you forget there isnt a speck of cheese in the entire dish.
- You can prep all the veggies the night before, so on lazy mornings you just need to chop and drop everything into the pan.
02 -
- Never rush the vegetable sautéing stage, as releasing their moisture prevents a watery frittata later.
- The frittata continues cooking slightly after removing from the oven, so pull it when the center is just set but still looks moist.
03 -
- Let your frittata come to room temperature before serving if made ahead, as cold eggs mask the delicate herbal flavors.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet if possible, as its superior heat retention creates that perfect golden bottom crust that makes all the difference.
