Notes

My #1 Secret Tip for making this healthy courgette frittata is to always cook the vegetables before mixing them with the eggs. When the veggies are half raw, they release extra water while baking, and that can make the frittata soggy instead of light and fluffy. Taking a few extra minutes to saute them first keeps everything perfectly tender and full of flavor.
Don’t forget to season: Salt and pepper are critical to making this dish tasty. Be sure to add fresh herbs to the top of the frittata as a garnish as well.
Let it cool: It can be tempting to cut a slice straight out of the oven, but let me assure you that it needs to cool slightly to set before it can be sliced perfectly.
Don’t overcook the frittata: Keep an eye on this crustless quiche while it is in the oven. I bake it until the eggs are puffed and opaque, as this healthy vegetable frittata recipe will continue cooking once pulled from the oven due to residual heat.
