Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. The word frittata is Italian and roughly translates to "fried". == History == The Italian word ''frittata'' derives from ''friggere'' and roughly means ''fried''. This was originally a general term for cooking eggs in a skillet, anywhere on the spectrum from fried egg, through conventional omelette, to an Italian version of the Spanish tortilla de patatas, made with fried potato. Outside Italy, ''frittata'' was seen as equivalent to "omelette" until at least the mid-1950s. In the last fifty years, "frittata" has become a term for a distinct variation that Delia Smith describes as "Italy's version of an open-face omelette". When used in this sense there are four key differences from a conventional omelette: * There is always at least one optional ingredient in a frittata 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 very low heat, more slowly than an omelette, for at least 5 minutes,〔 typically 15, until the underside is set but the top is still runny.〔 * The partly cooked frittata is not folded to enclose its contents, like an omelette, but it 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frittata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
