# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One skillet means you actually have time to eat before washing dishes.
  • It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when you really spent twenty minutes.
  • Works for breakfast, lunch, or that weird dinner-at-four-in-the-afternoon moment.
  • Naturally gluten-free and bursting with vegetables that don't taste like punishment.
02 -
  • Don't skip the stovetop cooking before the oven, or your bottom will stay custardy while the top firms up.
  • Watch that center closely around the ten-minute mark, because the difference between creamy and rubbery happens in about ninety seconds.
  • An oven-safe skillet with a metal handle is essential, not optional, so check yours before you start.
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs blend into a smoother custard than cold ones pulled straight from the fridge.
  • If your skillet doesn't have a metal handle, wrap the handle in aluminum foil before sliding it into the oven so nothing melts.
