3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use a non-stick skillet to ensure the frittata releases easily without needing excess oil.
- 2Slice the zucchini into thin, uniform rounds so they cook through at the same rate as the mushrooms.
- 3If you prefer a browned top, place the skillet under a broiler for 1-2 minutes after the eggs have set.
