I made this tonight:

I used only half an onion, so I decreased the watt-minutes in step 1 to 2'@1000 watts. I also added the half-cup of pepperoni and a half-cup of shredded cheese, so I increased the watt-minutes in step 3 to 9'@400 watts, then I let it stand for a couple of minutes.

Sorry, I missed this.

That looks delicious. Would you do anything different next time?

I'd probably use the whole onion next time, substitute a different kind of squash for the zucchini, and increase the cooking time slightly, but it's a pretty good recipe.

I used to work in a northern Italian restaurant, they would often have frittatas on the menu for special. I've always wondered what differentiated a frittata from a quiche or even an omelette for that matter. What's the answer, do you know?

Quiche has a crust, for one.

True, but what makes it different from an omelet? It's egg with various ingredients thrown in. In a restaurant setting, calling it a Frittata justifies an increase in price... that's about it.

Frittatas usually have some pasta in them (but this recipe doesn't). You also don't fold the eggs over the fillings, they're mixed together.
