A frittata is similar to an omelet. It consists of a base of eggs with little to no dairy. Rather than folding over in half, the frittata is cooked with an open face. The frittata is cooked over a low temperature on the stovetop and may be finished in the oven to completely set the top. A quiche is an egg-based custard recipe made with cream and includes a crust. It is baked in the oven rather than on the stovetop. Both a frittata and a quiche may include added vegetables, protein, and cheese.
