How do you keep a frittata fluffy?

Heavy cream, or even full-fat coconut milk for dairy free, is the best way to keep your frittata moist with a pillow-soft texture. Without this addition, frittatas cook up flatter and a bit more dense.

What is the difference between a frittata and an omelette?

Frittata is cooked low and slow in a cast-iron skillet or baking dish. An omelette is cooked in a skillet on the stovetop over higher heat. Plus, omelettes are served straightaway, whereas frittata is served warm or room temperature.

Why is my frittata watery?

If you combine the eggs with salt too early and allow them to sit, the eggs will become watery. Make the egg mixture just before you're ready to layer and bake it in the oven.

What the difference between quiche and frittata?

Unlike quiche, frittatas do not have a crust. This crustless egg bake makes it completely gluten-free and low-carb!

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
3 cups chopped kale
5 whole large eggs
3/4 cup liquid egg whites (or about 4 egg whites)
1/4 cup milk (or cream) of choice
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (or your favorite all-purpose seasoning)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
salt & pepper, to taste
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
2/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a 9″ pie dish or square baking dish and set aside.
In a medium-large skillet set over medium heat, add olive oil, minced garlic and kale. Cook and stir until kale is evenly coated in oil. Sprinkle on sea salt here if you wish. Allow kale to cook down for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat once kale becomes darker in color and wilts down.
In a large bowl, add whole eggs, egg whites, milk, seasoning, red pepper flakes, plus salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until evenly combined.
In your prepared dish, add kale, then egg mixture, then top with crumbled goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until middle has set. Allow egg bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

Large Baking Dish: This recipe may also be baked in a larger dish, such as a 13×9 pan. The egg bake will just come out thinner and you will have to adjust baking time accordingly. Start checking at the 20-minute mark, then check every 5 minutes thereafter.

Skillet: Use the same skillet you used to wilt the kale. Bake for 25-30 minutes and use pot holders to grab the handle.

Storage: Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

Reheat: Reheat in short 20-second bursts in the microwave or in a 350F oven for about 5 minutes.
