Savory Frittata Dishes - Slashfood Ate (8)

FrittataAs someone who has spent hours reading about how to perfect the omelet, the Italian frittata is another egg-based culinary delight I admit takes a certain skill. Like making an omelet, you must use just the right amount of ingredients so that the dish is not too cheesy or full of too many mushrooms. A frittata is somewhat a mix of an omelet and a quiche. It cooks over the stove in a skillet and is finished off in the broiler.

When entertaining, I often make frittata, because just one can serve up to 6 people. There are several different ways to make frittata. In southern Italian cuisine, especially Neapolitan cuisine, the frittata can contain spaghetti, macaroni, or another kind of pasta. Check out AOL's leftover spaghetti frittata recipe. A more traditional yet simple frittata might contain onions and Parmesan cheese.

Below are 8 savory frittata dishes:

  1. Artichoke and Mushroom Frittata
  2. Asparagus Frittata
  3. Leek and Ricotta Frittata
  4. Mustard Green and Sweet Onion Frittata
  5. Alton Brown's Frittata
  6. Ranchero Frittata
  7. Mushroom and Potato Frittata
  8. Gruyere, Ham, and Spinach Frittata
