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.
