With the ingredients in perfect harmony, it’s time to let the magic happen. In a preheated, non-stick skillet, a tablespoon of butter melts and coats the surface like a glistening welcome mat for the frittata-to-be. The egg mixture is then poured into the skillet, its inviting aroma filling the air and drawing everyone closer, eager to taste the final masterpiece.

As the frittata starts to cook over a medium flame, the excitement builds. The edges slowly set, creating a golden border that promises a delightful contrast to the tender interior. In mere minutes, the first sign of perfection emerges, and the real decision-making begins. To achieve an exquisite golden finish, one can choose to place the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes, where the top will lightly brown, making it an Instagram-worthy culinary wonder.
