What is the difference between a fritatta and an omelet? Goggled and found this: Omelets traditionally have the egg mixture cooked and folded around a filling, while a frittata just mixes it all up, cooked in a mishmash combination all at once. According to this explanation, what we Indians refer to as an omelet is in fact a fritatta. Anyway, fritatta's are usually thicker and have lots of vegetables and meats in them. Throw in anything you like, you can never go wrong here.
Eggs - 4 (or Egg Beaters - 1 cup)
Milk - 3 to 4 tbsp
Spinach - 1 cup
Corn - 1/2 cup
Broccoli - 1 cup
Salt and pepper - to taste
Red chili flakes - 1 tsp
Goat cheese - 1/4 cup (or Any shredded cheese)
Butter - 1 tsp
In a flat bottom pan, heat the butter and saute the corn, broccoli and spinach. I used frozen vegetables here.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper. If using egg beaters, skip this step.
Egg beaters is an egg substitute. It's made with real egg whites and comes in a carton. However, you do not miss the yolk here, as it is just as creamy and tasty as a whole egg. I really like it when making quick omelets or fritattas.
When the veggies are tender, pour the eggs into the pan and season with pepper flakes. Top with crumbled goat cheese.
When the eggs are set at the bottom, pop this under a broiler in the oven. Else, just close the lid and let it cook on low heat until cooked through.
Serve with toast and sauce of your choice. Tabasco works great with this.
