What is the difference between quiche and frittata?

Perhaps the most obvious distinction: A quiche is baked slowly in a savory pie crust (pâte brisée). A frittata, meanwhile, is crustless and cooks more quickly. Because the crust adds a certain amount of stability, a quiche can handle more cream than a frittata.

What's the difference between frittata and omelette?

A frittata is cooked slowly over low heat while an omelet is cooked quickly over higher heat. Whereas omelets are served hot straight from the stove, frittatas are often served at room temperature, making them perfect to make ahead for brunches or larger groups.

Can frittata be reheated?

Can you reheat it and preserve the quality of the dish? Reheating frittata takes about 20-30 minutes and is best done in the oven to maintain it's texture and flavor. It's also important to remember to cover your frittata with foil so it doesn't dry out while reheating.

How long does leftover frittata last?

3-4 days

How long does frittata last in freezer?

3 months

Can you cook eggs and freeze them?

Technically, hard-cooked eggs can be frozen, but they won't taste great. The whites become tough and rubbery, and they release excess water when they're thawed. The cooked yolks freeze exceptionally well, though, so we recommend eating the boiled whites fresh and freezing the yolks by themselves in an air-tight bag.

Does freezing milk keep it from spoiling?

Does freezing milk really help it last longer? Absolutely! Milk can be frozen for about 3-6 months which gives you a bit of extra shelf life for your trouble. When freezing milk, use a sharpie to write the date that you are putting it in the freezer, so you know how long you have until you should drink it.

Is it OK to leave eggs unrefrigerated?

"A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the movement of bacteria into the egg and increasing the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours." Consumers themselves should not try to wash their eggs, the USDA warns.
