Frittata (prepared)

Savory and eggy with whatever cheese, vegetable, or meat is mixed in coming through clearly.

Lens analyzed

A prepared frittata is a baked egg dish similar to a crustless quiche, usually studded with vegetables, cheese, or meat and cooked in a wide, shallow pan or oven dish. Unlike an omelet, it isn't folded — it's baked until set and sliced into wedges. Prepared versions are sold ready to reheat rather than eaten straight from the fridge.

Where it comes from

Frittata is an Italian technique for finishing beaten eggs in a pan and often in the oven, distinct from the French omelet's fold-and-serve style. It became popular in North American brunch and grab-and-go prepared food sections as a protein-forward alternative to plain eggs.

Buying it

Check the ingredient list for what's mixed into the eggs, since fillings range from simple cheese to a full vegetable-and-meat combination. Look at the sell-by date, since egg-based prepared dishes have a limited fridge life.

Storing it

Refrigerate the frittata as soon as you get home, where it keeps for about three days; reheat slices in the oven or a covered pan to keep the eggs from drying out.

Keeps about 3 days in the fridge.
