An egg frittata is an Italian version of the French omelet. It is not folded over like a French omelet, but rather, it is open-faced, and the preparation is also slightly different.
A French omelet is cooked very quickly on high heat; however, an egg frittata is cooked more slowly, requiring much more time than a traditional omelet. When cooking an omelet, any additional ingredients, such as cheese, vegetables, and meat, are placed on one half of the omelet prior to folding it over into a half moon shape. The other ingredients added to a frittata are stirred into the eggs and cooked at the same time, which results in the longer cooking time required for the frittata. |
