Set aside.

Tips:
- Use a large skillet: This will help to ensure that the frittata cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many ingredients to the pan, the frittata will be more likely to stick and cook unevenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help to prevent the eggs from burning.
- Don't flip the frittata: Frittata is a one-pan dish, so there's no need to flip it. Just cook it until the top is set and the eggs are cooked through.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help to keep it from falling apart.
- Serve the frittata with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
