I realize not a lot of people know what a frittata is because when I mentioned it to my friends, all I got were confused faces. O.o A frittata is essentially an egg based dish that is like a quiche without the pie shell. The Italian word frittata derives from fritto, which means "to fry", and was originally a general term for cooking eggs in a skillet, and could range from fried egg to omelette. Instead of flipping the eggs over like an omelette, you let it sit and cook on low heat until the underside is set and the top is still runny. Then the traditional way is to put it in the oven to finish it off. In my version, I choose to put the lid on and steam it instead of baking it in the oven.
I wanted to put in so many things so I kinda went all out with my 'add on' ingredients as you can see. I included one tomato, some turkey bacon, havarti cheese, and baby spinach.
I like my eggs a bit more smooth and fluffy so I added a dash of milk to my 3 egg mixture. If you always wondered how to make omelettes really fluffy and light, the key is the dash of milk and whipping it really hard to create a lot of air.
