- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh, quality ingredients for the best flavor.
