- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven using oven mitts. Spread the veggies on the heated pan. Return the pan to the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the veggies are soft and somewhat charred.

- Coat the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast iron or oven-safe pan and warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pour the egg an veggie mixture in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the bottom of the eggs to settle.
- Transfer the pan to the heated oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the center of the eggs are cooked through and the center of the frittata is firm and no longer runny).

Notes
- Note: frittata is perfectly cooked when the eggs are set in the center and no longer jiggly and the edges are golden-brown. If the eggs are set, pull the frittata from the oven and let it stand 5 minutes before slicing. If you notice the frittata is still too wet or runny in the center, bake for a few more minutes watching carefully.
