How do I double this frittata recipe to serve 8?
This frittata looks great! Could this recipe be doubled and baked in a 9X13 glass pan?

I am confident that a double batch would work just as well in a larger oval baking dish. Just make sure that it is not too deep, as that will affect the cook time.
Also, I'd probably avoid using Pyrex-type dish, because if you pou cold ingredients into the heated dish, it will shatter. I'd opt for porcelain, ceramic, enameled cast iron, any other shatter-proof option. ;o)
5c and double that would be estimated 11 cups
But a 9x13 pan holds 14 cups, so the double frittata might be a bit thin in that size pan, and cook up drier than normal.
Options to help you include mixing up the raw batter in a bowl whose capacity you know, say 3 quarts, and see how it measures up.
And/or use one of the many baking pan volume charts to find a pan that can hold 11c capacity.

Possible choices, for example, a 10" Bundt or spring form pan, a 9" tube pan, 10" round or square baking pan.
