Grandma Cocottes’ Tip

Thanks to the even heat distribution of enamelled cast iron, the frittata cooks perfectly without burning on the bottom.
Its light enamel coating allows you to easily monitor the cooking and serve straight to the table without transferring.

To serve with

A rocket and tomato salad, or a few slices of toasted bread rubbed with garlic.

FAQ — Frittata in an enamelled cast iron frying pan

1.Can you make a frittata without an oven?
Yes! If your cast iron frying pan is thick enough, you can cover the pan with a large plate or aluminium foil to finish cooking on a low heat for 10 to 12 minutes. The texture will be slightly softer.

2. What is the difference between an omelette and a frittata?
An omelette is cooked quickly on the hob, while a frittata is cooked more gently, often in the oven. Thanks to enamelled cast iron, the heat is distributed evenly, giving a light, golden and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

3. Can I swap the vegetables?
Absolutely! Try a seasonal version: leeks and bacon in winter, tomatoes and courgettes in summer, or mushrooms and spinach in spring.

4. How do I stop the frittata from sticking?
Always allow the oil to heat gently before adding the eggs.The smooth enamel of the Mamie Cocottes frying pan ensures excellent natural non-stick performance, even without a chemical coating.

5. Is my frying pan oven-safe?
Yes, up to 250°C maximum, because the handle is designed to withstand heat. Just make sure your oven is fan-assisted for even cooking.
