Notes
To keep your frittata fresh, allow it to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. Stored in the refrigerator, it should last for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. This frittata freezes beautifully; cut it into slices and store in individual portions for easy reheating.
