Organic Smoked Salmon and Cheese Frittata
Frittata is an egg-based dish similar to an omelette or quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. It may be flavored with herbs.
The Italian word frittata derives from fritto, the past participle of "to fry" frittata was seen as equivalent to the "omelette"
There are four key differences from a conventional omelette:
* There is always at least one optional ingredient in a Frittata (i.e. there is no such thing as a frittata nature), and such ingredients are combined with the beaten egg mixture while the eggs are still raw, rather than being laid over the mostly-cooked egg mixture before it is folded, as in a conventional omelette. Eggs for frittata may be beaten vigorously to incorporate more air than traditional savory omelettes, to allow a deeper filling and a fluffier result.

* The mixture is cooked over a low heat, more slowly than an omelette, for at least 5–10 minutes, typically 15, until the underside is set but the top is still runny.

* The part-cooked frittata is not folded to enclose its contents like an omelette but is instead either turned over in full, or grilled briefly under an intense salamander to set the top layer, or baked for around five minutes.

* Unlike an omelette, which is generally served whole to a single diner, a frittata is usually divided into slices. It may be served hot or cold, accompanied by fresh salads, bread, beans, olives, etc.
