Bake your frittata in a cast iron pan

A cast iron pan is a must-have for any home cook. While you can use your cast iron to bake giant cookies, broil steak, and cook fish, it's also one of the best pan options for making a frittata because it's oven safe. Frittatas are basically quiches without the pie crust. The ideal frittata is soft and flavored with various kinds of cheese, meats, and vegetables.

Because there are no wooden or plastic pieces to melt, the cast iron skillet is ideal for making a frittata. If you're using a cast iron pan, make sure it's well-seasoned before adding the eggs. Properly seasoned cast iron pans allow the edges to cook perfectly and easily slide out of the pan. According to The Petite Cook, the Italian method of making a frittata involves cooking eggs separately from the pan in which the eggs are eventually baked and finished. If that sounds like too much work, our method of making a frittata in a cast iron pan is much simpler and just as flavorful.
