Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Fluffy Vegetable Frittata

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an oven-safe skillet with olive oil.

In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks with salt, pepper, and herbs until blended.
Fold whipped egg whites into egg yolk mixture carefully without deflating.
