  • After 5-7 minutes, check the bottom of the frittata (it should be golden-brown). Use the spatula and be careful not to break the frittata.
    When the bottom is properly cooked, flip the frittata using a plate. If you've never done it, follow these steps:
    - put the plate upside down over the pan
    - put one hand over the plate and hold the panhandle with the other
    - firmly push your hand over the plate and flip
    - when you have the frittata on your plate, carefully slide it back into the pan
    Let the other side cook for another 5-7 minutes – still covered

  • When it looks ready, flip it again over a plate. Leave it to cool down for a few minutes and serve.
