So what is a frittata? It looks like an omelet, right? Well, essentially it is but with one big difference, no flipping required! Unlike an omelet, the eggs in a frittata only cook on one side. Using a medium-low temperature and a lid, the steam is trapped in the pan, cooking the egg entirely through. Just remember to take extra precaution to ensure you check for any “runnies” on top of the frittata before enjoying
