Ingredients
- 8 large eggs, beaten

Tips
Allergen Overlap Note
Check every packaged ingredient for certified gluten-free status, especially spices, broths, sauces, seed products, and baking staples. Use clean prep surfaces, dedicated utensils, and fresh parchment or cookware when preparing wild mushroom and herb frittata in a skillet for someone with celiac disease.
Texture Expectations
Keep the frittata edges just set while center remains softly custardy before baking so it rises without drying out. Let it rest 3 to 5 minutes before cutting.
Dining With Non-GF Family Note
Cut large pieces into child-friendly portions and serve from a dedicated gluten-free plating station. Keep any regular side breads separate if serving a mixed-diet table.
Timing note
The skillet stages, oven baking and five-minute rest exceed the listed total. Follow the method and allow additional time as needed; no tested total is claimed.
