frittatas
Baked egg dishes
Frittatas is the plural of frittata, an Italian egg dish similar to an omelet but cooked slowly without folding, often finished under a broiler.
Unlike omelets, frittatas incorporate ingredients throughout rather than as filling: We made frittatas with leftover vegetables.
They're served in wedges, hot or at room temperature.
