Wine pairing

You can pair a vegetable frittata with a still white wine, which is fragrant but not too full-bodied, such as South Tyrolean Sauvignon or Pinot Blanc.

If you decide to eat the frittata warm or cold, you can prepare it a few hours in advance.

Whatever vegetables you have chosen, cook them before adding the egg mixture; if you don’t, you will have either raw vegetables or overcooked eggs.

The frittata should have a lovely, crunchy crust on the outside while remaining soft inside—do not overcook it.

Do not be afraid to flip the frittata with the plate, just make sure to move carefully but decisively.

A vegetable frittata will keep in the refrigerator for two days in an airtight container.

Vegetable frittatas are a very simple, fast, and inexpensive dish, which practically everyone enjoys. They are also an excellent way of using up vegetables that you no longer know how to cook; you can use leeks, onions, asparagus, eggplants, or whatever else suits you. The herbs can also be changed to your taste; chives, marjoram, and other fresh herbs work perfectly.

If you want a stronger flavour, add a sharper cheese than Parmigiano to your frittata, along with diced pancetta or prosciutto—let your imagination guide you.

Vegetable frittatas are perfect for a variety of situations; they can be eaten both hot and cold, as an appetiser or as a main course.

In Italy the frittata is a staple in any picnic basket, where you can store slices of it in an airtight container.
