- Can I use other types of cheese instead of goat cheese? Yes, you can customize the recipe by using your favorite cheese. Feta, cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan are good alternatives to goat cheese.
- What herbs can I use as a substitute for sage? If you don't have sage, you can use thyme, rosemary, or basil as alternatives to add a different flavor profile to your frittata.
- Can I make this frittata ahead of time for brunch or meal prep? Yes, frittatas can be made in advance and reheated. So it's also an excellent make-ahead dish! Store it in the refrigerator and gently reheat slices in the microwave or oven when ready to serve.
