Do you know the difference between a frittata and an omelet?
Frittata means “fried” in Italian.
A frittata can basically be made with all the same ingredients as an omelet or a crustless quiche.
Frittatas are typically cooked in a cast iron pan. They are started on the stove and cooked until the edges begin to set.
The dish is then transferred to the oven to finish cooking, using a broil in the last few minutes to generate a nice golden crisp on top.
While an omelet has the ingredients simply sprinkled on top of the egg, a frittata is generally mixed together in a similar manner as quiche.
