Frittata Vs. Omelete & Quiche
What sets Frittatas apart from quiches or omelets? Frittatas are easier to make, thicker, and more balanced. The flavor options are endless with unique flavors every time.
This cast iron baked dish is also called a crustless quiche because the egg mixture is similar. The real difference is that frittatas are baked in a cast iron pan forming a nice egg crust on the bottom.
Omelets differ in that they have less freedom where the toppings are placed. Within an omelet, the toppings gravitate towards the middle. Omelets are time-consuming to make due to the individual cooking times. A Frittata is baked all at once in a cast iron pan.
