I agree with frittatas as a great food! I just wanted to mention, though, that there actually is a difference between crustless quiche and frittata. Quiche has a lot of cream (or milk) with the eggs, a custard, the mixture beaten up then baked. Frittata is mostly eggs, sometimes a bit of cream or milk but not much, if any. Frittata is cooked in a pan first, then when partially set, put in the oven to finish it off. So quiche is more liquid, smoother and creamier. Frittata is thicker, more curd-like. Think of quiche as a filling (which is why it's usually in a crust) and frittata closer to an omelette.

This was delicious! I loved the choice of vegetables. I baked this on my Convection setting for 30 minutes, and it came out PERFECTLY! I only made a couple changes. I used garlic powder instead of fresh cloves, just because it was what I had on hand. I omitted the cayenne and the dill and used Italian seasoning with garlic instead. I will definitely make this again, thank you so much!

I love cooking and always have. I learned how to cook as a young kid and I've worked as a prep cook for a catering company and for a restaurant though I am no longer working in that industry.
Being a food lover, it was an unpleasant surprise to develop major food intolerances within the past few years. I've been 100% gluten-free since 07/06 out of medical necessity and am cutting down on dairy and soy since they make me ill in large quantities. I'm also working on becoming kosher. So, you'll see reflected in my recipes my recent interest in developing recipes that are both kosher and suitable for people with food allergies, without sacrificing taste. And there's lots of good stuff in my cookbooks for those of you with no food allergies, too, of course!
My areas of specialty are gluten-free baking and cooking, dairy substitution, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and Jewish cooking.
