- Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
- While the frittata is baking, toast the hazelnuts in a small dry pan over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the frittata is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts over the top before serving.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:
- Ensure the vegetables are evenly chopped to promote even cooking.
- Pre-cook the bacon until crispy to add extra flavor and a pleasant texture to the frittata.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to achieve a uniform mixture that will hold the ingredients together well.
- Use a non-stick, oven-safe skillet to make the transition from stovetop to oven seamless.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing to help it set and make cutting easier.
- For a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon.
