- Once the egg mixture is mixed, make sure it is well blended before cooking to ensure that the vegetables and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Before cooking in the Instant Pot, be sure to sprinkle the top of the egg mixture evenly with sliced grape tomatoes, which will add color and texture.
- After cooking, let the frittata sit in the Instant Pot for a few minutes and then keep it warm with the keep warm function, which ensures that the batter is completely set and also makes it easier to cut into even portions.
