So what is a frittata?
It is made by blending eggs with milk or cream and then cooking on the pan or baking in the oven until it sets. It is similar to a quiche but without the crust or like scrambled eggs, loaded with plenty of healthy veggies and meats.
The word frittata is actually Italian and roughly translates to "fried."
