FAQ

Is this dish suitable for vegetarians?
Yes—it's ovo-vegetarian (it uses eggs but no meat). If you don’t eat eggs, you can use a vegan substitute, which will change the texture.
How many servings does it make?
2 servings.
Can I prepare it ahead or store leftovers?
Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently. You can also freeze for longer storage.
What substitutions can I use for ingredients?
Swap adzuki beans with chickpeas or lentils; asparagus with broccoli or green beans; parsley with cilantro or dill; use a plant-based egg substitute if needed; olive oil can be replaced with another neutral oil.
Can I use canned adzuki beans?
Yes—drain and rinse. No extra cooking needed; if using dried beans, soak and cook first.
How do I know when the frittata is done?
Edges should be set and the center just set. Bake 10–12 minutes; test with a knife or skewer.
Is this gluten-free?
Yes, naturally gluten-free. If you add any sauces or toppings, check for gluten.
Is it safe for children or people with allergies?
Eggs are a common allergen; adjust if needed and ensure eggs are fully cooked.
Can I freeze the frittata?
