Introduction
No one knows the exact origin of frittata except that its historic roots trace back to Mesopotamia, Persia, Spain, North Africa. Eventually, the frittata made their way to Italy and then eventually to the United States.
Originating from the mothership of all pasta and pizzas, Italian cuisine was sure to include frittatas as the Italian version of breakfast omelets.
The word frittata is derived from the Italian word friggere, meaning fried.
Frittatas are made as precisely as from the word theyre derived from: the eggs mixed with an endless number of fillings and then fried until brown before flipped or finished in the oven.
Frittatas are commonly mistaken as quiches or strata. Although there is a striking resemblance, the recipes are different.
Quiches have higher milk and cream content and are made with a pastry crust, while frittatas only require a few tablespoons of milk or cream and no crust.
Stratas are similar to American layered cheese, bread, and egg baked in the oven, whereas frittatas do not require such due to the endless cooking possibilities.
Additional Useful & Interesting Information
Did you know that there was a dessert omelet? Surprising right? Its known as Baked Alaska or the Norwegian Omelet. However, even if it originated in Norway, the name that made it famous came from a chef in Delmonicos restaurant in New York.
Chicken eggs are the most consumed eggs in the world. Because of this, the production and prices increase every year as the demand increases. Eggs are widely known to be eaten in more than a hundred ways because of the different nutritional values emphasized in every dish.
Lastly, did you know that eggs are preferred to be kept at room temperature and not usually in refrigerators? Many states outside the United States of America keep their eggs at room temperature.
