Whenever you grate a variety of lemon zest onto a pan earlier than baking a sheet pan frittata, it makes it additional particular. I like so as to add quantity to the eggs as effectively.

If you happen to’ve by no means baked a sheet pan frittata, let’s discuss it although. There are some things to get proper.

How To Make a Sheet Pan Frittata

When you have a rimmed baking sheet, ideally the quarter pan measurement (13 x 9 x 1 inches), some parchment paper and a carton of eggs, you’re in enterprise. To make a sheet pan frittata, line the pan with parchment paper, whisk a bunch of eggs along with a little bit of cream, and add in no matter seasonal elements you want.

Then switch to your ready sheet pan. Just like the one pictured under.

Sheet pan frittatas are all about realizing the essential method after which including no matter different elements you’re enthusiastic about. Bake till set and revel in. However let’s discuss by way of methods to make them nice.

A Few Necessary Suggestions

• Line the pan: Lining your rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper permits simple elimination of your sheet pan frittata as soon as it’s cooked. It’s necessary to get the parchment paper to seal with the pan although, so the egg doesn’t run underneath. The way in which you do that is to evenly (and totally) rub the baking sheet with a little bit of oil, after which press the paper into the pan. Use your arms to easy out any bubbles throughout the pan and up the perimeters.
• Pre-cook add-in elements: Much like quiche, water is the enemy right here. You need to keep away from including watery elements to your frittata. Go for pre-cooked or pre-roasted elements as an alternative. So, for instance, as an alternative of including sliced cherry tomatoes to your frittata, add roasted tomatoes. The flavour is extra concentrated, and many of the water has been cooked out forward of time.
• Make forward: If you’re making a sheet pan frittata as a part of your meal prep, enable the frittata to chill after baking. Slice and stack in an hermetic container, refrigerated, for as much as 4-5 days. To reheat, heat gently in a skillet. Or, serve at room temperature as a element in a sandwich or salad bowl.

The Greatest Add-Ins

Above you’ll be able to see the add-ins and toppings I used for this frittata, however there are limitless choices to contemplate. Listed here are a couple of favorites.

• Herbs: Load up on the chopped herbs. It’s onerous to go improper. Chives, cilantro, dill, parsley, basil – actually go for it.
• Lemon zest: This one is integrated into the recipe under. You too can experiment with orange zest and even various kinds of lime.
• Potatoes: Onerous to go improper with potatoes right here. You may roast sliced potatoes in a little bit of olive oil, allow them to cool, and add to the frittata earlier than baking. Room temperature hash browns torn and scattered throughout the frittata combination can be good transfer.

A Few Seasonal Variations

A frittata like that is the right car for no matter is in season, or no matter you may have across the kitchen.
