Notes

- Go Fresh: Fresh broccoli florets hold their shape better and add great texture.

- Mind the Skillet Size: A smaller pan gives you a thicker, more satisfying frittata.

- Even Veggie Distribution: Spread veggies evenly before pouring in the eggs to avoid lopsided bites.

- Let It Rest: Give it a minute or two to cool before slicing for clean, sturdy pieces.

- No Cast Iron? Use an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, but adjust cooking time slightly if needed.
