What is the difference between omelette and fritatar?

An omelette or omelet is a preparation of beaten egg cooked with butter or oil in a frying pan, often folded around a filling. Gourmet cook Julia Child famously described an omelette as soft-cooked scrambled eggs wrapped in an envelope of firmly-cooked scrambled eggs. Many variations exist.

Frittata is a kind of open-faced Italian omelette that can contain cheese, vegetables, or even leftover pasta. Frittate are cooked slowly. Most often, they are cooked on the stovetop on low heat until the eggs are set, then run under the broiler, but they can also be baked. Except for the cooking fat, all ingredients are fully mixed with the eggs before cooking starts.

An omelette is thinner, and folded. And if there's any filling, like meat or vegetables, the omelet is folded around the filling.

The frittata is thicker, and isn't folded. It just takes on the shape of the bottom of the pan, and it stays that way from the stove-top to the plate. Extra ingredients, like meat and veggies, are usually mixed into the egg, not folded inside like an omelette. Although, cheese is sometimes sprinkled on top of a frittata.

Hi Marlene,

I always thought Fritatars' were an egg and milk mix, poured onto a slender hotplate, fried within seconds on the hotplate, requested ingredients added quickly and then slowly all the ingrdients become rolled into an item for eating.

An omlete is all the ingredients being made like a pie but not in the oven, kind of like a quiche

hi in one way not a lot.but an omelette you place filling on it before you fold it over,and is done in a frying pan.and a frittata is done in the oven and you place the filling in before placing it in the oven and the filling then becomes apart on the meal as it sinks in to it.

hope this help's.

not a whole lot really - an omelette is served folded and a frittata is a type of italian omelette featuring hearty fillings such as meats, cheeses, and vegetablesand then is served open faced

A proper Omelette is only just set and slightly runny whereas a fritata is slowly cooked and fully set all the way through.

An omelette is folded over & is thinner,a frittata is open kinda like an eggy cake (if that makes sense?) & is quite deep.

Lust is entirely physical - you want to have sex with this person, grope this person. All body stuff. Love is emotional - yes, there are aspects of lust in love but for the most part it's wanting to be with that person, talk with that person, cuddle, and to stay with them forever. tl;dr Lust leaves when you gain a few pounds, love stays and asks if you want cake.

You are all Wrong a Frittata always contains some type of pasta

along with other fillings and is then baked with eggs.

A frittata is usually baked in the oven
