Tips and Tricks:
- You can add or replace the kale with peppers, roasted zucchinis, etc.
- Keep an eye on the frittata while baking. It’s done when the center is set and the edges are golden. You can perform the toothpick test in the center to check for doneness.
- Allow the frittata to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps in easier slicing and retains the moisture in the frittata.
