    Frittata vs. Quiche

    A lot of people confuse a quiche and a frittata.

    A quiche is a savory pie. It has a pie dough crust and has an egg and cream filling, kind of like a custard. The egg mixture is then mixed with lots of meats and veggies.

    A frittata is basically a large omelet. It does not have a pie dough crust, so you can also compare it to a crustless quiche.

    Both a quiche and a frittata are great brunch options!

      Frittata is one of my favorite brunch dishes and I don't make it nearly enough. Can't wait to make this again. The sausage and peppers were lovely additions.
