Look what makes a frittata different from an omelet.
A frittata is an Italian egg dish where the eggs are mixed with the ingredients and not folded in as a filling, like in an omelet.
Egg frittata is cooked slowly in a frying pan and then either flipped or finished under the broiler in the oven.
There are many different variations of frittata, which is popular as a breakfast or brunch dish because it’s quick and easy to make.
The dish makes a great low-carb or keto meal as well.
Using the Instant Pot to make a frittata is fast and easy.
