# How To Make It:

04 - In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
05 - Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes until edges begin to set.
06 - Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
07 - Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until frittata is puffed and just set in the center.
08 - Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The goat cheese creates these incredible creamy pockets that melt into the eggs as they bake
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes but looks like something from a brunch restaurant
  • Leftovers are actually amazing cold the next morning for breakfast
02 -
  • Overcooking makes eggs rubbery and sad, pull it from the oven while the center still has a tiny bit of movement
  • An oven-safe skillet with no plastic handles is absolutely required for this recipe
  • The frittato will deflate slightly as it cools, this is completely normal and nothing to worry about
03 -
  • Grate some lemon zest over the top right before serving for a bright pop of flavor
  • A dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche on each slice elevates this from dinner party worthy to restaurant quality
