How do you know when a frittata is done?

You know that the frittata is done when it sets in the middle. Sets mean when there is a slight jiggle in the middle of the quiche. You can also insert a toothpick in the middle to make sure the egg mixture has cooked through.

Should a frittata be runny?

No. The frittata should be completely set before serving.

Can I make this into a quiche instead?

Yes. You can add the filling into a pie crust instead of using the pan. Making a frittata is a good way to keep this recipe low carb and great for keto dieters.
