TIP: Frittata is the perfect recipe for using up leftovers such as roast vegetables, leftover rotisserie chicken or pulled pork, or any deli meats and cheese you have that are nearing their use-by date.
To make an oven-baked frittata, you will need a large baking dish. This recipe is suited to large families or meal prep when you want leftovers for lunches and it will serve 8. If you only have a small baking dish, you can half the quantities, or split your ingredients across two baking dishes instead.

Storing Frittata
Once cooled, slice up your frittata into squares and keep it sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
You can also freeze your frittata for up to 2 months in an airtight container or in individual freezer bags, which are great for work or school lunches, or last-minute breakfast on the run. You can allow to defrost and serve cold or reheat in the microwave until hot.
TIP: Make sure you do wait until your frittata is fully cooled before putting it in the fridge or freezer though, otherwise it will have excess condensation in the container, resulting in extra moisture when reheating or defrosting.
