Fluffy Frittata

Here's a simple egg frittata baked in a cast iron skillet.  Despite containing 3 kinds of cheese, it's light and fluffy and I love the rustic presentation of serving it directly from the skillet.  Start to finish, you can have it on the table is less than an hour.

Start by greasing a 12-inch cast iron skillet with melted butter - be sure to coat the bottom and sides well.  Eggs are like cement so don't miss any spots. 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk all the ingredients together.  If you have a flat whisk, it's the best tool to use, but a standard whisk will also work.  Be sure no clumps of flour remain.

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet.

Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.  The eggs are done when they puff up and no longer jiggle.  

Allow eggs to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into 8 wedges.  Enjoy!
