Is Frittata the Same as Quiché?

While a frittata and quiché are both made with eggs, a frittata is an Italian dish that is partially cooked in a skillet on the cooktop and then finished in the oven. It also has a lower egg-to-dairy ratio making it closer to an open-faced omelet than a pie. And while you can include the egg yolk in the frittata as we’ve done, you could leave out the yolk and use the egg whites only.

Get ready for Spring deliciousness with this easy seasonal dish! Our Baked Frittata Primavera highlights fresh spring veggies and protein, perfect for a quick and healthy meal. #seasonaleating #frittata #primavera #healthyfood #recipe #GlutenFree #GfreeDeliciously @GfreeDelicious

Quiche, conversely, is a dish of French origin made with a larger egg-to-dairy ratio creating an egg custard. The custard bakes into a creamier texture due to more dairy and is cooked in a crust entirely in the oven.

Both can be made with vegetables, herbs, and a bit of cheese and enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, supper, or anytime in between.

How to Make Frittata

The basic recipe for a frittata is relatively simple. It requires eggs, cheese, and a variety of herbs, vegetables, or meats. First, you’ll lightly cook the vegetables in a skillet until tender. Next, beat the eggs with cream, herbs, or spices, then pour the mixture over the vegetables or other ingredients in a baking dish. Finally, pop it in the oven for about 20 minutes to bake – the result is a fluffy, golden-brown dish that’s both savory and satisfying.

Frittata - A Classic Dish Perfect for Springtime!

No matter its origin, frittata has become classic cuisine and a dish many people eat. With its fresh ingredients, it’s perfect for Springtime. It’s easy to make, and the flavor combinations are endless. Whether you prefer a simple baked frittata with just eggs and cheese or a more complex one filled with vegetables and meats, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So next time you’re looking for a tasty and nutritious meal, why not try a frittata?

Whether you’re new to gluten-free cooking at home or have been at it for years, I hope this post for making this baked frittata primavera inspires you to experiment with the spring veggies you have on hand to make a fabulously delicious frittata.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a happy time cooking!

Equipment

  • 1 Medium-size skillet
  • Two 8 to 10-ounce Oven-proof Ramekins or a small Baking Dish
  • Utensils (cutting board, chefs knife, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, heat-proof or wooden spatula)
Add Ingredients to Shopping List or Order them Online

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 spears Asparagus cut into 1" pieces
  • ½ Romano pepper sliced into thin strips (or substitute Red Bell Pepper) [1]
  • ½ Red Onion sliced thin
  • 4 Baby Bella Mushrooms sliced thin (or substitute Button Mushrooms) [2]
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper divided
  • 2 large handfuls of fresh Spinach
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy Cream [3]
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Chive chopped [4]
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Tarragon chopped [4]
  • ¼ cup Fontina cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F, and spray oven-proof 8 to 10-ounce ramekins with coconut or olive oil.
  • Add 1 tablespoon Olive Oil, 3 spears Asparagus, 1/2 Red Onion, 1/2 Romano pepper, and 4 Baby Bella Mushrooms to a skillet and toss with a pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for about ten minutes, tossing halfway through. When the mushrooms begin to brown, add the 2 large handfuls of fresh Spinach and toss to combine, cooking for about one minute more until the spinach wilts.
  • Meanwhile, beat the 3 large Eggs with 2 tablespoons heavy Cream, 1 tablespoon fresh Chive, 1 tablespoon fresh Tarragon, and a dash of salt and pepper.
  • Once the spinach wilts, divide the vegetable mixture among the ramekins. If steaming, let it cool slightly, then pour about half of the egg mixture into each ramekin over the top allowing the mixture to fill in the gaps. Next, sprinkle the 1/4 cup Fontina cheese over the top, splitting the amount between each ramekin. Pop in the oven and cook for about 17-20 minutes until the top becomes golden and the frittata is puffed up but still slightly shaky in the middle.
  • Remove from the oven. Loosen any stuck-on edges of cheese or bits of crispy egg by running a table knife around the edges before serving. This dish can be served immediately while hot or at room temperature.

Kitchen Notes

Footnotes:
[1] Romano peppers are longer and thinner, with a slightly spicier flavor than common red bell peppers. Red bell pepper is a good substitute if you can't find Romanos.
[2] Baby Bella mushrooms are also known as cremini mushrooms. But while they are the same variety as white button mushrooms, harvesting is not done until they mature. Because the growing time is longer, the flavor has more time to develop, giving them a more profound, earthier flavor. This subtle but earthy flavor is especially noticeable when cooked, adding more of a bold, robust taste to the dish.
[3] To make this recipe dairy-free, we recommend following these steps (Yield about 1 cup (+/-) of heavy cream substitute):
  1. Add ½ cup raw cashews to a bowl. Cover with boiling water until the cashews are submerged. Leave them to soak for 15 minutes. Then drain and rinse them.
  2. Add the drained cashews to a blender with ¾ cup of unsweetened almond milk, pulse, and blend until smooth.
  3. Your heavy cream substitute is ready for use!
[4] May substitute one teaspoon of dried herb for each tablespoon of fresh herbs.
Enjoy this herby frittata for breakfast, brunch, supper, or anytime between. For plating in elegant style, arrange individual servings on a plate alongside fresh spring greens and a drizzle of Lemon Poppyseed Dressing. Finish by adding an extra pop of color by sprinkling the top of the frittata with more chives before serving.

I'm so happy you're here,

I’ve always loved food. I’ve loved to think about it, write about it, and talk about it. Then suddenly, one day, everything I thought I knew about nourishing my body changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

Gfree cooking, health, and wellness ARE now my life. And this little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned – Where my passion IS to nourish everyday GfreeDeliciously!
