What's a Frittata?
Frittata is an Italian word for omelet, and it differs from a classic French omelet in several ways. The ingredients are cooked with the eggs instead of being folded inside
the omelet. Frittatas are also cooked over a lower heat for a longer period of time than regular omelets. Additional ingredients, such as herbs or tomatoes, may be
sprinkled on top.
