An Italian omelet, also known as a FRITTATA, is an egg-based dish that is cooked in a skillet. It is similar to a quiche or an open-faced omelet, but it is usually made with fewer ingredients and is not baked in the oven. The FRITTATA is a popular dish in Italy, where it is often served as a light meal or snack. It can be filled with vegetables, meats, cheeses, and other ingredients, and is often served with a side of salad or bread.
