How To Make the Four Cheese Frittata

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a cast iron skillet or ovenproof pan with butter or oil.

Step 2: Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3: Add the Cheeses

Stir in shredded cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, and small dollops of cream cheese. Mix lightly so the cheeses are evenly dispersed.

Step 4: Pour and Cook

Pour the mixture into your prepared skillet. Cook over medium heat on the stovetop for 4-5 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.

Step 5: Bake to Finish

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped herbs and slice to serve.

How to Serve and Store This Frittata

This Four Cheese Frittata is best served warm straight from the skillet, but it also holds beautifully for meal prep. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Freezing? Slice it into portions and wrap tightly. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat when ready to eat.
