Tomato Frittata

Step 4 Broil

Now that you're properly awake, come back and check the frittata. Rotate the pan around to test. Is the middle cooked through? Are there still runny bits on top, or is the top solid? If the middle is cooked through, you're good to go. Solid or runny tops will both finish just fine under the broiler.

So: put your oven rack on the highest shelf, and turn the broiler on. Remember to turn the stove off. (Not that I've ever forgotten...)

Stick the pan directly under the broiler. Keep an eye on it, because this goes fast and you can easily end up with a blackened frittata.

Remove the pan when the top looks properly golden-brown.
