What is the Difference Between an Omelet and a Frittata?

Before getting started in cooking, I had no idea there was a difference between two of my favorite egg dishes. I just knew they both tasted yummy!

Frittatas, like this BLT Skillet Frittata, are cooked in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet. That’s because they’re started on the stove top, then baked the rest of the way in the oven. Plus, frittata fillings are mixed in with the eggs in the pan.

Omelet fillings are folded in the center and cooked exclusively on the stove. I love frittatas because there’s no flipping involved! Super easy and oh so delicious!

Is this a healthy recipe?

Depending on what you put in your frittata, this is an extremely healthy and wholesome dish! Eggs provide lots of protein and you can throw in as many fresh or frozen veggies you like. Since this is a BLT frittata, I love adding plenty of good bacon, lettuce (or in this case, vitamin-rich spinach leaves) and fresh, plump tomatoes.

How long does it keep?

What’s better than a frittata? A leftover frittata! These are so great for weekly meal prep! Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge and it will keep well for up to four days. You can enjoy it cold, or warm it in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Use an oven safe skillet for this recipe. I like to use cast iron.
  • Move the skillet into the oven once the edges are just starting to set. It’s ready to serve once all of the egg is solid.
  • Serve by itself for a yummy breakfast, or with a fresh side salad for lunch or brunch.

Ingredients 

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices Wright Brand Bacon chopped (I used their Applewood Smoked Bacon)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Fresh basil chopped, as garnish

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Whisk together your eggs, milk, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Cook your chopped bacon until crispy. Here is a great link with some tips!
  • Add olive oil, garlic and spinach to the skillet and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add in the tomatoes and stir to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and then stir in the bacon. Stir the entire skillet once or until well combined. Let sit (without stirring) for about 2 minutes, just until the edges are set.
  • Place the entire skillet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden.
  • Top with some freshly chopped basil if desired.
  • Slice and serve. Enjoy!

Once the spinach is cooked and eggs are added, do I continue to cook over heat or just let it set and stir and mix?

Can you tell me what size skillet you use for this? It looks delicious! I want to make it but my iron skillet is 12 inches and I don’t want the frittata to be too thin. Thanks!

I notice in your notes you mention fresh tomatoes, but the recipe calls for canned. Have you used both? How much fresh did you use?

I think you forgot the “L” in BLT. I used one leek, split and thoroughly washed. It adds a nice flavor without over powering the frittata. Green onions would work, too. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!5 stars
