What is a Frittata?
Frittata is an Italian egg dish that is started on the stovetop and then finished in the oven, typically in a cast-iron pan or another oven-safe skillet. Often referred to as an Italian omelet or crustless quiche, it's not technically either of these.
The great thing I love about frittata is that there are lots of variations.
For example, you can make a frittata with your favorite meat such as ground beef (or a meatless substitute) or you can use a combination of vegetables to make a vegetable frittata.
Another common ingredient is shredded cheese, such as Swiss cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, or sharp cheddar cheese to name a few.
You could also try it with feta cheese or Parmesan cheese if you'd like.
And although fritatta is typically made with heavy cream or whole milk, you can make a dairy-free fritatta if need be, or even a vegan frittata.
There are so many great ideas when it comes to this egg-based dish. It just depends on your personal taste.You can even make mini frittatas if you'd like!
If you're a fan of egg dishes, you're sure to love frittata because of its versatility.
Once the dish is cooked and you've carefully removed the cast-iron skillet from the oven, allow it to cool before cutting into individual slices.
It's also always a nice touch to add some fresh herbs on top for a bit of extra flavor.
Store any leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This delicious egg dish can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
