It’s been a hectic day. The family’s hungry, the fridge offers little more than eggs and leftovers and you’re fresh out of answers for the question everyone’s asking: What’s for dinner? The solution may be found in a single word: frittata.

A frittata is like an omelet but without the fancy pan work. It’s similar to a quiche without the troublesome crust, additional dairy products, and long baking time. For a frittata, you simply prepare the filling (leftovers are ideal), pour the eggs on top, and cook until set. While an omelet is soft, delicate, and slightly runny, a frittata is tender but firm.
