Can I add other cheeses?

Yes, feel free to substitute or add other cheeses like goat cheese, Gruyère, or cheddar for a different flavor profile. Adjust the amount to your preference.

Can this frittata be made ahead of time?

Yes, frittatas are excellent for meal prep. You can bake it, let it cool completely, then store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven, or serve cold.
