Italian Omelet (frittata)
The omelet is a dish of the Italian culinary tradition based on eggs to which different types of ingredients can be added. The Frittata is a traditional Italian dish whose main ingredient is eggs. Unlike the Omelet must be cooked on both sides and can be eaten as a main course or as a side dish. The base of the omelet consists of beaten eggs to which different ingredients are added such as cheese, ham, pasta, vegetables, milk or breadcrumbs all flavored with salt and pepper.
As we said before, the omelet should traditionally be cooked in a pan making it "sauté" in such a way as to cook both sides. In recent years, however, the practice of making the Baked Omelet has become widespread, that is, cook the dough in a non-stick pan in the oven which allows uniform cooking and above all a strong reduction of fat, not needing to use oil. Starting from the Omelet you can also make a tasty Omelet Roll which is a real cross between ''Frittata all'Italiana'' and the French Omelet. Let's find out now how to make the Traditional Omelet but also Special Omelet that see the use of ingredients sometimes considered unusual.
Spinach Omelet is a simple dish, but really tasty. Easy and quick to do, it is perfect for a picnic, but also as an appetizer.
