Cuisine and type: Italian, Breakfast

Insalata Frittata is a dish made by Takumi Aldini for the Breakfast Buffet Challenge during the Tōtsuki Friendship and Rapport Training Camp.

The frittata is meant to be eaten with a salad by breaking the frittata into rough chunks and combining it with vegetables. It is finished off with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. This dish has different textures, with fluffiness from the frittata and crispness from the vegetables. The balsamic vinegar also gives it a refreshing taste. It is one of the breakfast dishes that you definitely wouldn't want to miss!

Real facts

There is always at least one optional ingredient in a frittata and such ingredients are combined with the beaten egg mixture while the eggs are still raw rather than being laid over the mostly-cooked egg mixture before it is folded, as in a conventional omelette. The eggs for frittata may be beaten vigorously to incorporate more air than traditional savory omelettes, to allow a deeper filling and a fluffier result.
The partly cooked frittata is not folded to enclose its contents, like an omelette, but it is instead either turned over in full, grilled briefly under an intense salamander to set the top layer, or baked for around five minutes.
Unlike an omelette, which is generally served whole to a single diner, a frittata is usually divided into slices. It may be served hot or cold, accompanied by fresh salads, bread, beans, olives, etc.
