# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in 40 minutes flat, and most of that time is the oven doing the work while you breathe.
- Low carb but feels indulgent with all that creamy cheese and fresh herbs—no sacrifice, just smart eating.
- Tastes even better the next day, making it a weeknight lifesaver that doubles as leftovers.
02 -
- Don't skip preheating the oven—a cold oven means the frittata cooks unevenly and the top stays pale instead of turning golden.
- If your skillet isn't ovenproof, finish it under the broiler instead, but watch it like a hawk because it can go from perfect to overdone in seconds.
03 -
- Room temperature eggs whisk into the cream more smoothly than cold ones, creating a silkier base that puffs better as it bakes.
- Taste the egg mixture before pouring it over the vegetables—it's your last chance to adjust seasoning, and most people need more salt than they think.
