Notes

If the cooking time is up and you cut into the frittata and the egg is not set, Leave cooking for another 5 or so minutes. Sometimes the thick layer of cheese prevents the egg from underneath completely cooking in the time frame needed. So cutting and giving it a bit longer sets the egg well. Enjoy
