Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 3 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 1 months
  • Reheat covered until warmed through, then uncover briefly to refresh the edges.

Ingredient substitutions

Mint

  • Black pepper: Use only if mint is unavailable, as the fresh herbal character will be reduced.

Olive oil

  • Butter: Butter gives a richer dairy note and browns more quickly.

Salt

  • Feta: Use a little extra feta for saltiness, but the frittata will be richer.

Black pepper

  • Mint: Extra mint adds freshness but does not replace the mild heat of pepper.
