What is the difference between an Omelet and a Frittata?
Omelets are made when eggs are whisked until just blended, and then cooked on only the underside, over low heat and folded over like a taco holding a variety of meats, veggies and cheese.
Frittatas are vigorously whisked until the consistency is more thick and custard like. Both sides of frittatas are cooked and they are filled with veggies, herbs, cheeses and diced meats.
Bacon Frittata
This Breakfast Casserole will yield 12 large servings or cut those down for kids and light eaters and make even more servings.
If you have only a few people in your family, we recommend you cut the recipe in half and make it in an 8 x 8 size casserole or quiche pan.
Do frittatas make good leftovers?
This casserole does store well as leftovers in the fridge if covered in an airtight container. To rewarm and enjoy you can place the baking dish in the oven at 350 degrees F and heat for roughly 10 minutes. You can also cut individual portions and warm on a skillet on your stovetop.
We don’t recommend microwaving egg casseroles as the eggs tend to get tough and rubbery in consistency.

What herbs are best to use in Frittatas?
Fresh herbs add a nice touch of fragrance and flavor. Parsley, rosemary, oregano, and thyme are all fantastic herbs to use in quiches, omelets, and frittatas. They elevate the flavors and compliment a variety of veggies and meats commonly used.

How do you keep a Frittata fluffy?
Diary is an important ingredient when cooking egg dishes. Milk, cream, or even yogurt will help to thicken and fluff the eggs, while adding moisture and creaminess to your frittata. For every dozen eggs add 1 cup of dairy to bring flavor and a pillowy texture to your breakfast casserole.
How do you make a Frittata taste better?
Seasoning is the key when baking egg breakfasts such as omelets, quiche and frittatas. Salt and pepper, fresh herbs, and dairy will bring flavor.
