# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Cleanup is truly laughably easy, which feels like winning after dinner.
  • The combo of salty ham and nutty Swiss always gets compliments, even from picky eaters.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling—cutting too soon makes the frittata crumble instead of slice.
  • Adding the cheese in two layers creates pockets of melt, not just a rubbery topping.
03 -
  • If you see watery veggies in your pan, sauté them a bit longer to avoid a soggy center.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of extra thyme on top right before serving for a fresh lift.
