  1. Cook the peeled vegetables until very soft, remove pepper skin, and chop them finely before adding them to the eggs.
  2. Bake gently without browning until just set and moist. Remove any dry or rubbery outer edge.
  3. Check that the frittata and every vegetable piece cut easily with the side of a fork.
  4. Fork-pressure test the serving. Serve without toast, raw salad, or crisp garnish.
EquipmentOven-safe pan, fork for cutting and pressure testing
SLP tipLow heat keeps eggs tender. A browned base or overcooked edge can fail even when the center passes.

Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
